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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
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."
what momentum? millions of people marching will have little or no effect without political action. shame won't affect polluters; only laws will restrain them.
Renewables work. Corporations have money. We have The People.
We, The People, need to keep being seen and heard. Again and Again!
how can you have a poll that only has one answer, or at least two variations on "yes." are you guys taking tips from republicans, or what? (just friendly mockery, but c'mon!)
Agree. Interesting bit of history: The Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970s created a surge of awareness of our hyper-dependency on oil, and the catastrophic consequences, from wars to breathing-related disease, environmental destruction and economic blackmail. President Carter launched a public education effort regarding the costs/consequences of our oil addiction, and the "urgent need" to transition to alternatives (including phasing out our excessive use of private motor vehicles, building a comprehensive mass transportation system). Then came Reagan. Every serious effort to address the consequences of pouring massive amounts of soot and oil particles (carcinogens) into the air each day is cut off by another govt campaign against the few who smoke cigarets.
Funny how the same party that pushes this "climate cange" agenda is the same party that sent US jobs to 3rd world countries ( via: NAFTA) knowing that the corporations were going to profit from the lack of environmental laws.
