From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Thom, I have had the pleasure and the good fortune to speak to you live on your 3 to 5 program twice. I am following up on what I think is essential to get our message of change information to a larger audience. I suggest you do a program on the First Amendment right to a “free press”. I have been researching this subject and have contacted the FCC and posted a section of their rules on Facebook, that I believe demonstrates they are not following their own rules on licensing of news programs.
I thought there might have been suits or other court cases challenging the FCC and Congress for violation of the Constitution, but I could not find one case. I then went to ACLU to see if they were involved in any cases and they are not. Corporations that own 90% of all Medias, and the FCC could be sued for failing to protect our airwaves and under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. ATT was broken up because of their monopoly, why not do the same to those who monopolize our Medias.
I have been researching this subject and have filed a complaint with the FCC concerning the control of the TV news media through not reporting and falsely reporting news. I know you have access to more informed people than I to explain how we got to where we are with all media and solutions to the problem.
I will gladly share what I find.
Keep up the good work!!
PS: Your book “Crash of 2016” is a must read for those who know nothing of the history of capital and labor in US History.
