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 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."
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."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."

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.
