Bill Bradley Book - The Journey From Here - Written by Bill Bradley, presidential candidate and author of The New York Times best-selling VALUES OF THE GAME, THE JOURNEY FROM HERE is the guide that every thinking American should read before visiting the polls on November 7. It is a compelling call to action - not a call to vote as a Democrat or Republican, but a call to vote on the issues. In eight succinct, lively essays, Bradley explores, with wisdom, conviction, and unashamed passion, America's ideals and the questions we face as a nation. Basic health care for every citizen. Fighting for democracy through campaign finance reform. Healing racial wounds. Eliminating child poverty. Responding to our new role in the world and the opportunities it presents. Drawing on lessons he has learned from a lifetime of listening to Americans, Bradley combines the personal and the political into reflections that engage both the heart and the mind, shining a light on the ideas that will shape our country's future. Bill Bradley embarked on his most recent journey when he ran for President in 2000, after serving as United States senator from New Jersey from 1979 to 1997.
