America's number one populist, Jim Hightower, is a best-selling author, radio commentator, public speaker, and all-around political sparkplug whose credo is "You can fight the gods and still have fun." Twice elected to statewide office in Texas, he has long battled the Power that Be on behalf of the Powers that Ought to Be: working families, consumers, the environment, small businesses, and just plain folks. His latest book is called Swim Against the Current: Even A Dead Fish Can Go with the Flow. You can read more about Jim and keep up with his latest commentaries over at JimHightower.com.
Hightower is a modern-day Johnny Appleseed, spreading the message
of progressive populism all across the American grassroots.
He broadcasts daily radio commentaries that are carried in more
than 150 commercial and public stations, on the web, and on Radio for Peace
International.
Each month, he publishes a populist political newsletter, "The Hightower Lowdown," which now has
more than 135,000 subscribers and is the fastest growing political publication
in America. The hard-hitting Lowdown has received both the Alternative Press
Award and the Independent Press Association Award for best national newsletter.
A popular public speaker who is fiery and funny, he is a populist
road warrior who delivers more than 100 speeches a year to all kinds of groups.
