DESCRIPTION:National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of If the 
 Gods had Meant Us to Vote They Would Have Given Us Candidates, Jim 
 Hightower has spent three decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of 
 the Powers That Ought to Be - consumers, working families, 
 environmentalists, small businesses, and just plain folks.  He has been 
 called “the populist voice of our times.”\n\nIn his new book, Thieves 
 in High Places: They’ve Stolen Our Country and It’s Time to Take It 
 Back, Hightower takes on the Bushites, the Wobblycrats, the corporate 
 Kleptocrats, and Bush’s plan for empire.  Hightower exposes invasions of 
 privacy, the military budget (and where the money is going), sprawl, 
 deregulation, and how Wal-Mart has reshaped the American business 
 landscape, and shows us how a small yet powerful elite in our country have 
 taken control of the small farmers, main street businesses, consumers, the 
 working class, and the poor.\n\nAdmission to the lecture is $10-$25 sliding 
 scale; proceeds benefit Peninsula Peace and Justice Center.\n\nThere will 
 be a buffet lunch reception at 12 noon (tickets $75, limited seating; 
 includes a copy of the book and admission to the lecture).  From 12:30 to 
 1:30 pm, there will be a “Take Back Our Country” fair and rally in the 
 courtyard of the auditorium.\n\n
