From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
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 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."
Working with your friendly local corporate behemoth:
Don't CALL!!! Write the company so that you have a paper trail. DOCUMENT! Send a copy of what the company sends you along with your reply. Be reasonable and don't talk with anyone on the phone about your complaint/request. You don't build up a case over the phone. Email is okay if you keep a file on the total situation. Mail your response with a "proof of delivery" for critical items. Mail response gives you time to think and stay cool which the phone interchange denies you.
