GOP Reveals Its 2020 Strategy
By Thom Hartmann A...
Republicans in Wisconsin and Georgia are leading the way toward GOP victories in November with the go-to technique they've been using for the better part of the last 40 years: voter suppression.In Wisconsin they want to remove over 200,000 people from the voting rolls, disproportionately in the cities of Madison and Milwaukee, while in Georgia hundreds of polling places have been closed in black neighborhoods and towns and governor Brian Kemp is stripping 300,000 people of their right to vote. Republicans were able to get away with this because there is no explicit right to vote in the Constitution, which is why the Supreme Court was able to hand the election of 2000 to George W. Bush, and then last year ruled that it was okay for Republicans in Ohio to do this.
Americans should be outraged at this assault on a fundamental liberty that our soldiers have fought and died for repeatedly since the Revolutionary War. A democratic republic cannot function when large chunks of its population are not allowed to participate in selecting their representatives. The Democratic Party needs to express outrage loud and frequently over this, and help put an end to the practice of caging and purging voters.

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
