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."
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."
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."
Thom, on March 20th you posted a story about a NY Times article exposing how Marco Rubio and other GOP "sabotoaged" the ACA by cutting funding to the "risk corridors" for the health insurance companies that participapted, resulting in a dramtic reduction of what these particippating companies could expect.
Did these cuts take place? If so WHY do the mainstream news interviewing the GOP people that continually mention the withdrawl of participating insurance providers let this go unchallenged. It is maddening to hear them state the ACA is a failure when they caused it, and it is NEVER challenged. I am beginning to wonder if it actually happened.
If this is what happened, we need ALL DEMOCRATS to KNOW this happened and we need to challenge with Twitter and other media (comments to MSNBCs Chuck Todd) for letting these "shiesters" get away with this big lie.
This should be the ONLY thing coming out of the DEM Senators and Congressmen's mouth.
