Is there a place where the South Pacific origin stories are collected, or would we have to find them one at a time?
And is there a place to read the epistulary conversation Thom mentioned between Abigail and John Adams?

D'oh! The Willard hotel is at 1401 Pennsylvania Ave. and the term "lobbying" actually originated with the UK Parliament, where some, if not all, votes are (or were) recorded by signing a book in the lobby.

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 Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
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."
On the Stephanie Miller Show, they said 1400 Pennsylvania Ave. is the Willard Hotel, where the term "lobbyist" originated.
