Texas Civil Rights Project Tenth Annual Bill of Rights Dinner
 Vic Feazell with keynote speaker Jim Hightower October 6th, 2000 – Austin, Texas. |
Jim Hightower, a successful author, radio commentator, grass roots organizer and “America’s most popular populist”, is straight-talking, anti-establishment and fun to listen to. Hightower believes that to move America from greed to greatness, we must fuel the power and passion of our nation’s everyday citizenry. Bringing real economic opportunity and social justice to all citizens requires those citizens to actively participate in our democracy. Hightower inspires and encourages people to get mad, get moving and take charge – reminding them that they can’t wait for politicians to do it for us – they’ve been doing it to us for years.
His new book, If The Gods Had Meant Us To Vote They Would Have Given Us Candidates, is a refreshing perspective on the state of politics in the new millennium. The book focuses on the presidential candidates, all beholders to the powers-that-be; the topics of interest to ordinary people which no candidates will discuss; and moving stories of citizens beginning to create new politics and new candidates beholden to the “powers-that-ought-to-be”.
