Selections from Moyers on Democracy

Bill Moyers is fighting mad about the betrayal of our best democratic ideals by the Bush administration, and in this book he delivers a crucial message about America’s need to reconnect with our constitutional ideals and rich history of reform as we prepare for the 2008 presidential race.In this collection of blisteringly eloquent speeches on the state of our nation, timely topics addressed include the proper place of religion in public life; the mounting environmental crisis; the struggle to keep public television and radio free of political manipulation and ideological censorship; the appalling culture of corruption and influence-peddling that has nearly highjacked Washington; the heedless, disastrous policies of the Bush administration in Iraq and many other areas.Collected, these speeches prove definitively that Bill Moyers is our Indispensable Man and our political conscience.
