  • 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 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."
    Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO
    From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
    "If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
    Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
    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."
