It's APACHE LEAP!

The area in Arizona that the "Cromnibus" gave to the foreign mining firm to mine for copper is called "Apache LEAP", not Apache tears. It commemorates a site where some Apaches about to be captured by US forces chose to LEAP to their deaths rather than be taken alive.

Apache tears, on the other hand, are small bits of obsidian that have been tumbled smooth by water and sand.

From Screwed:

"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."

—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places

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."

—Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO

From Screwed:

"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."

—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
