From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
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 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."
Hey Thom, the issue that supporters of the electoral college have is that they believe the power of the majority in our REPUBLIC, must be balanced by the MINORITY voice. In this case the MINORITY voice, are the voices not on the coasts of the U.S, but the mid west, etc. That's the point they are trying to make as to why the electoral college should exist. Otherwise, you get what I believe Lani Guinier labeled, rule by tyranny, though she was not speaking to the electoral college, the issue of contention is similar. Anyway, voter suppression may be the big crime that the supporters of the electoral college should be pushed to comment on, since, the electoral college may not be going anywhere.
