George McGovern's Legacy

I just finished reading George McGovern's most recent book entitled What It Means To Be A Democrat. It is a simply written book giving common sense and clear answers on what the differences are between Republicans and Democrats. While always acknowledging his belief in the individual goodness of Republican citizens of this country he does not pull punches on his belief in the fallacy of the parties positions.

To be a Democrat in some circles is to not speak up and admit that you believe in justice for all and as McGovern says to be a party that believes no one gets left behind. I believe that the Democratic party would be wise to give this book to any and all young people who are becoming involved in the process.

This book is a strong explanation of what Democrats believe and why.
