From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
100 million people who are elegible to vote did not partake in this last election. We need to talking about how to get more people involved, because not voting is a vote for the winning candidate.
I suggest the following:
TAX BREAKS FOR VOTING!!!! I want a law passed that provides a tax breaks for registered voters, when we file our taxes. Meaning every year I am registered I get some kind of tax break, and when I vote there is an additional tax break. People would demand that poles are not closed, moved, or messed with. Also every person would be checking to make sure their names are still on the county's voter registration rolls. This would benefit everyone, republicans, democrats, and independents too. We also need to abolish the electoral college.
