YES /& not 'soldiers', Leonard! The Occupy people are just o r d i n a r y citizens. They're us!

And, certainly, the let's-filibuster, drag-the-feet, unimaginative & irrespons-ABLE actions of the GOP do strengthen and 'grow' the Occupy movement. Lovely, isn't it?!

Things aren't getting better so we must stand together. I've kept up on most things for over 50 years and never thought I would see the USA self destruct. We cannot allow this to happen. Pay attention to all the little things, think, use street smarts and act in what ever way you can.

Let's bankrupt the Bankgangsters! Ask your friends to close their accounts in those banks and go to Credit Unions. I have already closed my BA account!

Yes and every action they take against us only makes us more determined to push back.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
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."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
