Losing Our Democracy

Résumé du livre

Celebrated author and lawyer Mark Green, who coauthored the New York Times bestseller The Book on Bush, now takes aim at the most chilling and dangerous trend in America today: the betrayal of America's democracy by its own leaders. In a perpetual quest for more money to line their pockets and more power to wield against average citizens, a coalition of big business, the Far and Religious Right and, most terrifyingly, Bush & Co. are assaulting our rights, our liberties, our very democratic system of government by, of, and for the people.

With his classic blend of careful reasoning and brilliant style, Mark Green provides anecdotes and ample evidence of a systematic attack being waged by Americans against America! From voter suppression to religious, corporate and legislative tyranny, from the problem of purchased politicians to the Far Right's Stone Age approach to race and civil rights, this is a call to arms for all real patriots who have had enough of reactionary politicians who wave the flag while they trample on its values.
