Tom,
Listening to show today. I live in Wisconsin and have been very active politically. The ID debate as mentioned by the Calif. caller isnt about ID and procedure, its about voter supression. When I go to vote ay my precient, (Paul Ryans)they are careful to find my name,get my signature and issue me a number to go to the next step to gat a ballot. If someone else came in and said they were me, they would of commited fruad etc. No one has ever tried to cast a vote posing as someone else in my precient. Never. The republicans spent millions on voter fraud investigations and found a few-les than 20 individuals claiming to be someone else and or trying to cast multiple votes in one day. Voter fraud in Wisconsin, practally speaking or statisticly vertually non existant. Its akin to imposing a multi million dollar jay walking investigation in the mountains of Papau New Guinea. The fraud, if any ,is in the post election count not with the, or the Supereme Court in Florida, NOT individual citizen voters.

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."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
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."
I think I've figured out why Republican voters don't turn on the people that screw them over after they get elected: http://www.thomhartmann.com/users/mathboy/blog/2014/09/electoral-masochism-explained
