Thom Hartmann had an excellent interview today with Tom Perez on

his radio/tv show today , focusing on voter suppression (Perez says this is a huge problem and said Dems have to focus on this), the 50 state strategy (Perez said that for ten years, the structure of the DMV has not reached out to voters enough and said he wants a presence at least in every zip code and said Democrats have to be active every month of the year), etc.

Great for Perez and his ideas!

Any thoughts on this?

Free Speech TV, but other people have things they want to watch during the early afternoon. And I need more hours in the day. 😉

digital recorder and hang it around the neck of my shirt and also feed it into my car's audio.

But I am sure there are free ways to listen regularly. I like the idea that my subscription to his podcasts support Thom and his wonderful wife, Louise.

They are ordinary people with extraordinary insights, dedication, and I applaud them!

Great!

He said we have to make it clear what our core values are!
