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 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."
Hello,
On Wed a woman from Michigan called in and was talking about a program that she qualified for in relationship to being upside down on her mortgage. She talked about how the bank had sold her note to another bank. I did not catch the name of the program she was applying for relief from. I'm hugely upside down on my mortgage and would like to seek federal assistance if there is something. So far all I've been able to find are legal firms that are charging money to represent me and promising me the world. Any advice?
Thanks,
Bobster
