Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. With a foreword by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. There was no greater friend to the poor, to the lost, to the left out, and tothe left behind. If you want to understand this great man, read his historic,important book and learn the lessons and values from his moral voicecrying in the wilderness on behalf of our American democracy.Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) Known for his poise, intellect, and influence until his death in October 2019, Elijah Cummings was one of the most respected figures in contemporary politics, a politician who held fast to his beliefs but was not afraid to reach across the aisle in the name of friendship and progress. Since his earliest days in government through his time as a representative and chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, he proved his abilities as a politician who could operate at the highest levels of democracy, serving the people of Baltimore and illustrating the importance of working withand forthe underdog.Yet in his final years of life, Cummings recognized that democracy was the underdog. Were Better Than This draws from Cummingss own life to show the formative moments that prepared him for the disturbing first years of the Trump presidency and spurred him to hold the administration accountable for their actions. Weaving together the urgent drama of modern-day politics and character-defining stories from his past, Cummings offers a never-before-told perspective on how his personal history, coming of age in South Baltimore, laid the foundation of a life spent fighting for justice. He goes behind the scenes with the House Democratic leadership, offering an eye-opening chronicle of the grim realities of holding the Trump administration to account. Detailing this moment of unprecedented obstructionism by both the president and Republicans, Cummings presents a vital defense of how government oversight defines our collective trust, examining the dangerous precedent for both parties that exists if the executive branch remains above public scrutiny. Part memoir, part call to action, Were Better Than This is the story of our modern-day democracy and the threats that we all must face together, as well as a retrospective on the life and career of one of our countrys most inspirational politicians. As we approach another test of our democracy, the next race for the White House, Were Better Than This reminds people that in this country we dont elect kings, and we cannot afford four more years of this false one. A memoir by the late Congressman details how his experiences as a sharecroppers' son in volatile South Baltimore shaped his life in activism, explaining how government oversight can become a positive part of a just American collective.
