Reply #16: Kicking it for tonight's TX Observer book signing 4/21 [View All]

[sonias]

This will be the first tour stop for Sirota's book tonight. The event is not free but $10 is a suggested donation. I've never seen The Observer turn anyone away for lack of funds. If you got some money to give to them great, if not come out anyway.

And as an added bonus, a web exclusive interview with David Sirota by The Observer:

A Conversation with David Sirota
by Dave Mann

Writer and pundit David Sirota is an avowed progressive populist. He has served as press secretary for U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and was spokesman for Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee. In 2004, he helped Brian Schweitzer become Montana’s first Democratic governor in 16 years. In early 2005, he left Capitol Hill permanently for Helena, Montana, where he regularly contributes to The Nation, The American Prospect, and In These Times, among other publications. Sirota will visit Austin on Friday, April 21, for a roundtable discussion on corporate influence in politics and to sign advance copies of his soon-to-be released book, Hostile Takeover: How Big Money & Corruption Conquered our Government and How We Can Take it Back. The Observer recently spoke with Sirota by phone. Here are excerpts from that conversation.
