Cheers! Taken at ABGB in Austin, TX.

TL;DR> National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and New York Times best-selling author, Jim Hightower has spent five (!) 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.
