National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of the forthcoming book, Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go with the Flow, 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. Hightower’s daily radio broadcasts are carried on more than 150 commercial and public stations, on the web, on Armed Forces Radio, and on Radio for Peace International. Each month, he publishes a populist political newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown, which has received both the Alternative Press Award and the Independent Press Association Award for best national newsletter.

Hightower is a New York Times best-selling author, and has written seven books including, Thieves in High Places: Theyou've Stolen Our Country and It's Time to Take It Back; If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote They Would Have Given Us Candidates; and There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road But Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos. During the 90s, Hightower became known as "America's most popular populist," developing radio commentaries, hosting two radio talk shows, writing books, launching his newsletter, giving fiery speeches coast to coast, and otherwise speaking out for the American majority that's being locked out economically and politically by the elites. As political columnist Molly Ivins said, "If Will Rogers and Mother Jones had a baby, Jim Hightower would be that rambunctious child--mad as hell, with a sense of humor."
