How do I get a suggestion to Thom?? I've tried several alternatives and all seems to be doubtful.
My suggestion:
If we are going to successfully fight this administration, we absolutely must build the organization of millions and millions of ordinary citizens that Bernie is talking about. Bernie has started Our Revolution and it needs to grow until it is a known entity in the minds of people across the nation. This will not happen by itself. And without it we will be powerless. We need to awaken this sleeping giant. So I propose that Thom dedicate occasional shows to a discussion of how to organize, what is needed, and where to do it. Over weeks and months of this the discussion should advance in every way as should the organizing. We need concrete ideas and direction. I'm suggesting that the show be an actual contributor to/instrument of, developing the organization. Feedback? Is this worth considering?

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
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."
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."
I worked on the i-735 initiative in Washington State which calls for a Constitutional amendment to clarify that Constitutional rights only belong to human beings, not corporations. Thousands of members of Our Revolution donated in October which provided us with enough funds to run newspaper and radio ads all over the state. I-735 passed with 63% of the vote and I want to thank Our Revolution for their support. We could not have reached rural Washington State without your help.
