From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
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."
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."
Hey Thom, the issue that supporters of the electoral college have is that they believe the power of the majority in our REPUBLIC, must be balanced by the MINORITY voice. In this case the MINORITY voice, are the voices not on the coasts of the U.S, but the mid west, etc. That's the point they are trying to make as to why the electoral college should exist. Otherwise, you get what I believe Lani Guinier labeled, rule by tyranny, though she was not speaking to the electoral college, the issue of contention is similar. Anyway, voter suppression may be the big crime that the supporters of the electoral college should be pushed to comment on, since, the electoral college may not be going anywhere.
