Near the end of today's extraordinary interview with Mr. Bolden (seriously, I was rivited to my phone), he gave out an email address for an autographed copy of his book The Echo From Dealy Plaza. It passed so quickly I couldn't write it down (the subway'll do that; i already looked like a weirdo gasping at what he was saying). I tried accessing his website, but it sets up an email to "author"@website etc. The email Mr. Bolden mentioned was something like "a.bolden" something @ something.
It truly was an honor to hear Mr. Bolden tell his incredible experiences. To have such a brave and important person in autograph a copy of those experiences would mean a lot to me. Thanks for your help.

I had to go back through the video to find it, but we've gotten several calls asking. His email is a.bolden@sbcglobal.net

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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."
I don't think we should punish citizens for not voting; I think we should just count the abstentions. That way, politicians would have to campaign positively.
You can afford to count abstentions if you use proportional-representation districts, like this.
