“When Democracy Failed: The Warnings of History”Praise for We the People
“Not only does this book tell you what’s really going on, but it even draws you a picture of it. Read, learn act!”
“Thom Hartmann has done it again! He's like America's Civics Teacher, telling us everything we need to know about what democracy really is, and how to protect it when threats abound.”
“Clear and compelling. Democracy is at risk. Hartmann tells us why. We the people can reclaim democracy. Hartmann tells us how. Read it and act.”
“Thom Hartmann’s message for everyone (especially the overstressed and uninformed) should be part of the Western canon. Read this book for a jolt of illumination!”
“An ambitious effort to explain everything that's wrong in and about America, how things got this way and what should be done about it, “We the People” is the product of a brilliant and principled thinker.”
“This is an excellent tool of popular education. All Americans — young and old — should know what's in this book, especially our youth and those adults lulled to sleep by our entertainment culture. Thank you, Thom Hartmann!”
“Finally, the Bush Republicans get the long-form comic history book they deserve...”
“Do you care about our democratic freedoms, constitutional government and due process of law? Do you want to pass on these precious gifts to your children and grandchildren? Then read this book — a captivating, lucid account of how our leaders have conspired with private corporations to betray American democracy. Thom Hartmann has given us an excellent guidebook to learn, educate others and organize now, while there's still time.”
“There's nothing childish or 'cartoonish' about the ideas, strategies, and analysis in Thom Hartmann's brilliant book, We the People: A Call to Take Back America. This should be available everywhere as a quick, accurate primer on what has gone wrong in our country in the last four years and what we might do to right the capsizing ship of State.”
“This is a blockbuster of a book, a thoughtful and highly provocative analysis of American political traditions and our current political situation. An easy and compelling read, it should be on everyone's reading list. You may not agree with all of Hartmann’s ideas, but you have to consider them.”
“Thom Hartmann is a true voice of Wisdom in the bewilderness, and he outlines a clear and inspiring plan to restore government of the people, by the people and for the people, where the government does THE PEOPLE'S bidding, not the bidding of the highest bidder.”
