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:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."

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.
