I want to bring the conversation back to Hillary lying & accusing Bernie of lying. re her fossil fuel campaign funds. NPR is lying, too, on there FactCheck that comes up 1st in Google search. re. the issue. PBS News Hour Shields and Woordward also lied. NPR is mixed up with natural gas industrialists, it seems. Hillary fudges all around on fracking issue. Bernie simply says "NO fracking." Bernie is IN TOUCH with the KEEP IT IN THE GROUND movement <www.350.org> We can't dig up more fossil fuels and survive as a species, as Thom & DiCaprio Foundation explain in www.GreenWorldRising. Let's spread word more about Hillary & Obama NOT moving fast enough to save life and our children on the planet. Let's say more about Hillary's 4 1/2 million from fossil fuel CORPS. Correct that everywhere and on NPR Ombudsman <http://help.npr.org/customer/portal/emails/new?PHPSESSID=cc78d52f1ca3a5286b54f4fafb1da8d1> audience OMBUDSMEN response. Google NPR Ombudsman and correct NPR FactCheck lie about amount of money Hillary takes from fossil fuel industries, Site Thom Hartman interview with GreenPeace activist who challenged Hillary and made Hillary angry and accuse Bernie of being the liar, when she is the liar. Greenpeace - Here Are Hillary's Connections to Oil & Gas... Not just fossil fuel workers gave to Hillary campaign, but fossil fuel lobbyists 1 1/2 million, and SuperPacs about 3 million. Yes? Let's say more about how Wasserman-Schultz is a Republican in Dems. clothing slanting the primary election toward Corp. Dem. Clinton. Wasserman-Schultz is all for TPP and is right of center as is Obama. We MUST fight as hard as possible to elect Sen. Sanders in NYS. It could decide the difference between saving the climate from a tipping point of NO correction and the resultant catastrophe, or saving the habitable Earth in time to save our species into the next century. Carbon takes 200 yrs. to dissipate out of the thin veil of our atmosphere, our very breath. We keep putting more up there every day to the tune of something like a million tons daily. So much costly asthma and lung disease, too! We can easily reach the tipping point of no correction in less than a decade, maybe only 5 yrs. So, imagine everything slowly dying off and suffering from floods, drought, starvation, thirst from lack of clean water, imagine our children of today dying miserably in thirst and hunger or wars over resources, imagine that and FIGHT LIKE ALL HELL TO ELECT Senator Bernie Sanders. That's what FEELING THE BERN means: Save life on Earth in this USA election! The USA MUST lead the world toward clean green energy, 100% clean by 2030 or else! Call from home or join a phonebank in NYS. NOW! Go to http://www.BernieSanders.com and learn how to join a phonebank near you, or just call from home. It's easy to do. Just any phone and a computer will do from home. Keep making calls for Bernie or keep donating to the Peoples Political Revolution. Volunteer for Bernie who won't give up on us ever. Democracy is up to us, like Thom says, even though we're all overworked. Tag: we're it NOW, more than ever! TO SAVE EVERYTHING, WE NEED EVERYONE NOW. It's better to light one candle than rage against the darkness. Watch RESTORATION on www.GreenWorldRising. I made cards re. GreenWorldRising URL and give them out everywhere. Make calls, donate. Fight for Bernie to win the NYState primary April 19th. It is HUGE number of delegates at stake in NY State NOW! So much depends on Bernie winning NY State. SO urgent! Climate Crisis is an EMERGENCY! FEEL THE BERN www.BernieSanders.com By the way, I'm exactly Bernie's age and a feminist for Bernie who was also arrested, and actually abused by the KKK in Selma, 1961, as intern journalist on WSLA-TV, among first to integrate Deep South TV. I really FEEL THE BERN at 75 yrs. Keep hope alive! <www.AuthorandActivist.com> I love Thom & Bernie for their convictions and work, so important to our children's survival!

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

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."
Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
