Here, with great heart, supple wit, and a dash of anger, Garrison Keillor describes the simple democratic values-the Golden Rule, the obligation to defend the weak against the powerful, and others- that define his hard-working Midwestern neighbors and that today's Republicans seem determined to subvert. A reminiscence, a political tract, and a humorous meditation, Homegrown Democratis an entertaining, refreshing addition to today's rancorous political debate. * A New York Timesbestseller * Updated and revised with a new introduction for the 2006 midterm elections * A Featured Alternate Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, In this thoughtful, deeply personal work, one of the nation�s best-loved voices takes the plunge into politics and comes up with a book that has had all of America talking.
