Thom plus logo  Hey Folks,

Thom here writing again to ask for your help. Free Speech TV is nearing the end of its year-end campaign and your support could make the difference in whether or not we meet our goal.

Please consider chipping in $60, $120, or $240 to help Free Speech TV reach its critical year-end fundraising goal.

You know, the more I watch network news, the more thankful I am to have my program on Free Speech TV, to be part of a team with folks like Amy Goodman and Bill Press.

You won't see anyone on Free Speech TV spinning lies and convincing hardworking Americans to blame their economic hardships on immigrants and Obama's Islamic socialism.

It's unreal! Half of what you hear on network news coming out of the mouths of Republicans doesn't even make sense.

On Free Speech TV, you'll hear the truth. Our economy has been growing despite a Republican-controlled congress that's held our political system and national budget hostage that continues to fight for the kinds of lax banking regulations that caused the worst financial crisis in our history.

If we're going to point fingers, let's point them in the right direction. Let's hold our leaders accountable. You can help by making sure people are empowered with the information they need by donating to Free Speech TV.

Please give $60, $120, or $240 to help Free Speech TV meet their critical year end goal. Activism begins with you, Democracy begins with you, get out there, get active! Tag, you're it!

With your help, we can fight for what matters.

With thanks,

Thom

Quote: "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the anti-war left and black people. We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting people to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, break up their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." - John Ehrlichman.

Tonight's Politics Panel talks Bernie's strategy of trying to win over Trump supporters, another example of the media giving Trump a pass, and Ted Cruz's Dad's bizarre new book suggesting that there's no such thing as separation of church and state. Thom discusses how prosecutors blamed Tamir Rice for his own murder with radio host Joe Madison and former DC police officer Ron Hampton and in tonight's Daily Take Thom discusses how Nixon's war on drugs had nothing to do with drugs.
