Their names probably won't mean mean anything to you, but these people ought to have some modicum of personal recognition: Jason Anderson, Aaron Dale "Bubba" Burkeen, Donald Clark, Stephen Curtis, Gordon Jones, Roy Wyatt Kemp, Karl Kleppinger, Blair Manuel, Dewey Revette, Shane Roshto, and Adam Weise. These are the 11 workers who were killed when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sank into the Gulf of Mexico on April 20.
Booking Jim
America's Most Popular Populist
No one in America today delivers a motivational speech like Jim Hightower, bringing home a hard-hitting, tell-it-like-it-is political message, yet keeping his audience doubled-up with laughter. In the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rogers and Woody Guthrie, he skewers the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be -- America's workaday folks.
TO BOOK JIM, contact Laura Ehrlich at laura@jimhightower.com or by telephone at 512-477-5588, extension 1. Jim's expenses must always be covered and his normal speaking fee is $10,000, although he does make appearances for less than that, depending on circumstances. (The fees are necessary because this is how he finances his staff, office, research, and other work that keeps putting his populist message out there.) All invitations are welcome and are considered on their individual merit, so email or call ...and bring Jim to your town!
