Since it's Thanksgiving and there has been a good reason to thank Wendell
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 09:45 PM by peacetalksforall
Potter, Michael Moore, and Keith Olberman and staff for the great interview. Very timely.

Not forgetting our soldiers who have given up plenty for us, let's list some of the people who have also given plenty.

This list will follow the theme of Potter and Moore - anything related to corporate, political, media, banking, government., etc.

Here's a start - list them with a clue as to why we are thanking them. The first two are listed with their book titles which explains why we are thanking them. List with or without book titles.

Wendell Potter: "Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR Is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans"

John Perkins: "Confessions of an Economic Hit-Man" and "The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth about Global Corruption" Plus documentary.

Michael Moore: many books, many documentaries - serious subjects - our lives in this country.

I hope you will participate. Keep it going - all week-end and beyond, if necessary.

(Thanks again Keith, Michael, Wendell - for our Thanksgiving gift.)

3. Thanks to Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson
They remind me that it is worth it to keep moving forward, it's worth it when you're in the right. I'd like to see Fair Game, it was released recently. http://www.fairgame-movie.com/



And thanks for remembering our soldiers. This time last year my husband was starting his Thanksgiving morning in the dessert. He's home now and I'm thankful.
