The Politics of Joy (and Sacrifice) Dennis Michael Burke

In her walk across the United States at age 90 and in her remarkable speeches along the way, Doris "Granny D" Haddock woke up the nation to the crisis of corruption in American politics. Her activism helped to pass campaign finance reforms in Congress and in many states and set a roadmap for today's ongoing efforts to get big money and corrupt influences out of our democracy. This book contains her story and many of her most memorable speeches-as current today as when she delivered them, in 2000 to 2010.
