Book Jacket

Here's my planned copy for the inside jacket:

In the New American Populists and the Progressive Prescription for America, first time author Jeffrey Richardson delivers a powerful argument for how We the People can once again have a proud and prosperous country, with justice and security for all. His approach is unique: he starts each chapter with a short bio of one of his personal heroes, an interview with the individual, and the insights he's gained from studying their activism.

Every man, woman and child in America who's ever asked the question "What can I do?" will surely learn something valuable from reading this book. Organizers, activists, history professors and politicians should have this book on their office bookshelf, or better yet, sitting open on their bedside table.

The stories in this book will inspire you and motivate you to get involved and stay active no matter what happens in Washington D.C. Because, in the words of the acclaimed progressive talk show host, Thom Hartmann:

"Democracy begins with you. Tag, you're it!"
