	Advance Praise for Blue Grit: *Donna Brazile, campaign manager, Gore-Lieberman 2000* "Blue Grit is a clarion call to progressive voters looking for a new direction. While many pundits continue to argue that the Democratic Party must race to the center in a desperate attempt to win back the White House, Flanders offers a compelling analysis of the strength of the modern progressive movement in America, showing us that the Democratic Party must not abandon its core progressive values and ideals, but capitalize on them to win." Randi Rhodes, host, Air America Radio "Steal this book if you're a Republican, but READ IT!" Chuck D, Public Enemy "Laura Flanders is a doer, and a great person to get focus from. Listen to her and now read these words and keep them close by. *William Greider*, author, The Soul of Capitalism "Laura Flanders is a star burst of optimism -- people need that -- and Blue Grit is the perfect vehicle for spreading her message. Politics can be fun again AND progressive goals can succeed. There is a new crowd moving in on tired old politicians and they are stirring up a hopeful new politics." *Michael Eric Dyson, author of Debating Race* "Blue Grit is pure political tonic, a stirring call-to-arms for progressives who feel they've been left out in the cold by their alleged allies. Laura Flanders offers a galvanizing vision of political democracy as it was meant to thrive: in the lives and stories of ordinary Americans." Eve Ensler, playwright, author, Insecure at Last "With her usual daring, flair and down home investigative style, Laura Flanders travels America and finds the progressive grassroots movement alive and kicking. Her book, Blue Grit, asks who owns the Democratic Party, "the people in the suites or the people in the streets." It is a crucial question, and this book is crucial reading." Fran Lebowitz "Laura Flanders' Blue Grit gives hope even to those of us who don't ordinarily go in for that sort of thing" *Richard A. Viguerie,* President, Conservative HQ "In Blue Grit, Laura Flanders throws a verbal hand grenade into the Democratic 2006 election celebration. She makes it clear that Liberals are as unhappy with the Democratic Party as Conservatives are with the GOP. It seems to me that something important, maybe even historic is stirring in the political arena-stay tuned."
