"Democrasy depends on an informed electorate." Don't remember which one of the Founding Fathers said that (or almost that), but it seems to have been =deliberately= 'forgotten' a while back. Why does the general public have no clue what's going on, or believe 'fairy tales' that any -thinking- person would outright laugh at? Because they're being selectively fed -only- what the corporations want people to know .. and steadfastly denied access to information that might make the public get all 'uppity'. Luckily, I speak a number of languages besides English, so I can find out what else is going on and/or what another view of a situation is .. .. but far too many 'gud Amaircuns' can barely speak/read =English=!! And the American media, not just Faux News, hasn't done a damn thing to help matters, at all!

Until the masses, get out the vote, there will be no movement, just like today's political scheming.

It is one mans doing, thats fueling the consolidation, Michael Powell, Gen. Powell's son., and the overall corruption of our media, for the 1%.

low voting is strangling this countries citizens, more and more.

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 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 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."
Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
Robert Greenwald, political activist and founder and president of Brave New Films
