From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
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."
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.
