From the Utne Reader:

Jim Hightower
Jim Hightower has been described as that rarest of species: "A visionary with horse sense, and a leader with a sense of humor." Today, Hightower is one of the most respected "outside Washington" leaders in the United States.
It is his passionate belief that to move America from greed to greatness "we must once again tap into the genius and gumption of the grassroots people of our country--the workaday majority of Americans."

Known as "America's most popular progressive populist," Hightower believes that "the true political spectrum is not right to left, but top to bottom," and he has become a leading national voice for the 80 percent of us who no longer find ourselves even within shouting distance of those at the top. Author, radio commentator, public speaker and political sparkplug, this Texan has spent more than two decades battling Washington and Wall Street on behalf of consumers, children, working families, environmentalists, small business and just-plain-folks.
