Why Ordinary Citizens Have No Say
http://truth-out.org/news/item/23120-why-ordinary-citizens-have-no-say
The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: If our politics and democratic p=

d when it comes to phasing out fossil fuels, and creating a clean and green=
economy.

Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: The nature of our current economic situation i=
