The caller about Washington State caucus is incorrect. The democratic party in WA selects its delegates by the caucus procedure. The first step is March 26th. Bernie supporters are active in this process and Bernie, indeed, is a canidate. The Wa state primary on May 24th, has nothing to do with selecting the delegates for the democratic party. The primary election on May 24th is a state law requirement; the WA democratic party has elected to do the caucus procedure separate from the state primary election. The republicans will use the primary election for their process. Hope that clarifies the misinformation on your show today, March 9th.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
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."
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."

If Bernie is to be successful as president, he needs the wave election that you speak of, but to have the wave election - we need candidates that are not beholden to corporations. My point is that Bernie's campaign needs to recruit state candidates. These candidates need a web based citizen contribution system similar to Bernies, and Bernie should advocate that his Donors make equivalent donations to their in-state candidates.
