Unfortunately the Nevada situation is not over. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch today printed Dana Milbank's column from two days ago, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/does-bernie-sanders-want-to-be-t... It was filled with misinformation and unsubstantiated accusations, and subtitled "Candidate's increasingly harsh rhetoric could hurt the party in November." In a box they highlight the quote from Bernie, "We are taking on virtually the entire Democratic establishment." To me the fact that they think this sounds "bad" demonstrates that the powers that be just don't get it, they are lumping Bernie in with Trump as a kook, and they refuse to deal with the fact that people are angry with what has become of our economy, government and politics.

John Fund of the National Review recently penned a piece suggesting that "none of the above" be a choice on State presidential ballots. This should be a choice on all races as a means of bringing the parties quickly to heel and boost voter turnout to record levels!

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."

—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine

From Screwed:

"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."

—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places

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."

—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
