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."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
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."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
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."
—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World and board chair of YES! magazine

We should never have been their in first place.
I don't like pre-worded vote selections.
I can't vote with what you say if I don't agree with all words in the statement.
Intertesting comment by first person. It's most unfortunate that conflict is a way of life over in Iraq!! For a President to make a horrible decision to invade Iraq and the dollars he spent to convince the public "there is a need" to invade Iraq!!!!! What really gets to me is those d________ Republicans and constant vocal concern on the size of the debt!! I guess any person with any kind of common sense would agree with the conservatives, "not!" I certainly hope and pray the troops, all of them, will be out of Iraq by the end of this year! Actually, it's sad our troops have stayed this long. To ponder on how many troops have been killed and injuried, it truly hurts deep down!!!! I am a Viet-Nam veteran and I have a handle on what I am talking about!! It' also time we get our butts out of Aftganastan (sp?). I questioned what have we as a nation really accomplished! Consider the money, the troops killed and all the lives that have been changed due injury, war is hell and nobody wins!!!!!!!
The military may be goone, but there will still be contractors (mercenaries) from Xe, DynCorp, etc., in Iraq in perpetuity. Forever and Ever, Amen.
