From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
Freedom of speech should be recognized as an individual right. (Like totin' a gun?) Everyone has one mouth and the quality of the ideas they express can be judged within a democratic debate. If money is considered speech, he who has the most money has the most speech. There is no longer a level playing field in which a democracy can function because some ideas can win, not on their merits but due simply to their volume. (Will the person who thinks political ads inform you, please raise your hand?)
