THE GOOD FIGHT, Declare Your Independence & Close the Democracy Gap
Author: Ralph Nader
Price: $5.00
Shipping: $3.75
Nader is a relentless activist and brilliant visionary and may be the most honest man left in politics. In this book Nader swings at those "who want to block the American people from having more voices and choices." He takes on corporate-occupied Washington and the government's daily abuse against ordinary citizens. One wonders why our national leaders do not listen to him and exhibit the courage to break away from the corruption, cowardice, malaise, and ignorance that affects our nation's politics. Nader says we can do something about it. EX-LIB, Very Good with Brodart cover. New York, NY Harper Collins' Regan Books 2004 1st Ed. 9 x 6, 24 Pgs., HB | |  TEXANA & THE AMERICAN BORDERLANDS
