Glad you liked it and you are welcome.

I am happy to help call some attention to her because we do need some prominent voice for the working poor, etc.

What is striking about her is that she has presence and punch in her presentation to go with her wit and intelligence.

I can´t afford to buy. I am the working poor personified.

I hope she gets a ton of publicity.

Thank you again.

I can't embed due to CSpan copyright policy, but this link will take you directly to the 56 minute long interview. It's well worth the time (if you can spare it) while you wait for the library book.

I am going to ask my local library to get a copy of her book! (Since I live in Arkansas, it's unlikely they have it...)

because getting sick can affect whether you can pay rent.

Fully agree that voting should be a holiday!
