What would you rather have for America?: (a) More Mitch McConnholes and John Bonner's running around, or (b) more immigrants.

[and yea, you got my permission to deport McConnhole and Bonner]

No way no how do I support Obama's amnesty by executive order. He may be frustrated but he doesn't get to write the laws---Congress does, and he doesn't get to rule by executive fiat. In addition to rewarding individuals who willfully broke the law, Obama is also telling the some 400,700 indivduals presently following the legal process that they're a bunch of saps. They should step out of line and just do it; forget about the law; forget about any medical criteria; forget about any requirements to speak minimum English or knowledge about US history or laws. Simply feel free to slid on it. If you wait long enough, the spineless federal government will fold. Obama's amnesty also tell millions of others to simple come on in; don't bother stopping at the border. We're a wide open country now.

LOVE 'The Revolution of 1800', Thom; and its description of obstructing the will of the majority back then illustrates it's nothing new. Boehner, McConnell, Koch Bros, et al, do excel at that activity!

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."
Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
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."
