Hightower, Goodman Speaking in Lansing

A pair of high-powered speakers will speak in Lansing next month for the 2nd annual Michigan Policy Summit.

Former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower, a populist firebrand, and Amy Goodman, a crusading journalist if there ever was one, will speak at the event May 10.

I have heard both speakers and each one alone is dynamic and inspiring. But both on the same program? Wow!

Goodman's radio show "Democracy Now!" consistently breaks stories that the rest of the media has ignored.

Hightower is full of wit and wisdom, as shown by the title of his latest book, Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go with the Flow.

The summit will focus on education, health care, and the environment.

Get inspired, get energized, get registered for the summit.
