From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
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?
