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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
MARCH 26TH WASHINGTON STATE CAUCUS: I'm having a hard time getting through nowadays. In WA State the Democrats will only count the caucus results, the primary is just a beauty show that was only just put in place by the Republicans.
The Democratic Caucus in Saturday March 26th, the Republican primary is late in May.
People can register to vote at the caucus, and it's an open caucus, so people can sign in saying they are a Democrat for the purpose of the caucus.
The Democrats have a Surrogate Affidavit form that people can fill out if they can't make it to the caucus. It's good if they have to work, are ill or disabled, have a religious reason not to attend or are in the military. It's available at wa-democrats.org. It can be printed out, filled in and MUST be returned by mail, fax or emailed PDF to the WA State Democrats by 5 pm March 18th, or it will not be included in the precinct caucus packets on the 26th.
