The California Primary Election is this Tuesday. Lots of judicial choices on the ballot but it's difficult to find any information about judges. I found 2 Right-Wing election guides and they were 100% consistent in their preferences for judges. I marked my ballot opposite of their choices. What other information is there to go by? THEN I got several mailers supposedly from Democratic groups. They endorsed all the right Democrats for high offices, the ones who will win in California anyway, BUT all their judicial endorsements were for ALL THE RIGHT-WING JUDGES. People fall for this kind of deception all the time. How do we wake people up and let them know they should NEVER trust campaign adds?

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
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."
Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
