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."
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 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."
I just watched Jill Stien's speech in Detroit and what I heard was Bernie Sanders. From climate change to the TPP to banning fracking and leaving fossil fuels in the ground to citizen United etc. etc. I was cheering enthusiasticly for Bernie sanders when he made these same statements at his rally in Eugene!!
Despite all this, I'm still planning on holding my nose and voting for the lessor of two evils, Hillary Clinton, but remind me again why I shouldn't take my hand off my nose, take a deep, refreshing breath, and vote wholeheartedly for Jill Stien.
