Related: About this forumThom Hartmann: Thom's State of the Union speech
My fellow Americans...The State of the Union is strong. Its politicians, however, are stupid and bought off by everybody from Oil Billionaires like the Koch Brothers and Saudi sheiks, to transnational corporations and defense contractors. Tune in for Thom's State of the Union speech.

That was clear, focused and straight forward and serious! Enough of both parties shenanigans ( though we know it's mostly the republicans). This speech/clip needs go viral.

The need for campaign finance reform and verifiably fair elections, so honest, intelligent, and sane problem solvers have a chance at being elected.
As apposed to the lunatics, and venal sock puppets that are beholden to the predator class.
We need to cure the Worlds cancer at the core, and until that happens one shouldn't expect much change for the better.

the makers of life, liberty and happiness. It can be done with the vote and a whole new crew of candidates or write-ins on the ballot.
