    <![CDATA[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&#8217;s need to reconnect with our constitutional ideals and rich history of reform as we prepare for the 2008 presidential race.<br/>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.<br/>Collected, these speeches prove definitively that Bill Moyers is our Indispensable Man and our political conscience.]]>
