    Cover of ISBN 0807848557Congress at the Grassroots
    Representational Change in the South, 1970-1998:
    Book by Richard F. Jr. Fenno. The University of North Carolina Press 192 pages Paperback Published 2000-04-12. Description: However much politicians are demeaned and denounced in modern American society, our democracy could not work without them. For this reason, says Richard Fenno, their activities warrant our attention. In his pioneering book, Home Style, Fenno demonstrated that a close look at politicians at work in their districts can tell us a great deal about the process of representation. Here, Fenno employs a similarly revealing grassroots approach to explore how patterns of representation have changed in recent decades.

    Fenno focuses on two members of the U.S. House of Representatives who represented the same west-central Georgia district at different times: Jack Flynt, who served from the 1950s to the 1970s, and Mac Collins, who has held the seat in the 1990s. His on-the-scene observation of their differing representational styles—Flynt focuses on people, Collins on policy—reveals the ways in which social and demographic changes inspire shifts in representational strategies.

    More than a study of representational change in one district, Congress at the Grassroots also helps illuminate the larger subject of political change in the South and in the nation as a whole.

    How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President:
    Book by Lincoln Chafee. Thomas Dunne Books 272 pages Hardcover Published 2008-04-01. Description:
    In this smart, candid, and surprising political memoir, Lincoln Chafee offers a behind-the-scenes look at the first six years of the Bush Administration from the vantage point of one of the few Republican moderates in the Senate.
    When Senator Chafee (R-RI) went to Washington, he encountered a Republican Party drifting so far to the right it no longer stood for the mainstream principles that united Americans. Instead, under the direction of George W. Bush, the Party had fallen victim to extremism. In the face of this trend, Chafee stood fast as one of the most liberal Republicans in the Senate, seeking to cut across partisan lines at the very time that they threatened to irrevocably divide the nation.
    A political iconoclast, Chafee was the only Republican senator to have expressed support for same-sex marriage; the only Republican to vote in favor of reinstating the top federal tax rate on upper-income payers; the only Republican in the Senate to have voted against authorization of the use of force in Iraq; the only Republican to vote for the Levin-Reed amendment calling for a nonbinding timetable for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq; and the only Republican to vote against Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. Chafee favored increased federal funding for health care, supported affirmative action and gun control, supported women’s reproductive rights, and endorsed federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Sometimes referred to by conservatives as a RINO (Republican in Name Only), Chafee turns the tables on the right and asks why it has enabled Bush Jr. to pull the GOP and the nation away from traditional principles of fiscal conservatism, respect for our environment, and aversion to foreign entanglements.
    Unabashedly frank, Chafee’s memoir recounts his political journey from small-town mayor to a voice crying from the congressional wilderness. He offers a forward-looking assessment of what comes next for the Republican and Democratic parties, and he also addresses the potential rise of a third party within the void created by bipartisan extremism. Most important, Chafee sounds a wake-up call to his Party, and to all Americans, by challenging our government to strive, as Abraham Lincoln once articulated, “to elevate the condition of men.”

        • Review:: 'The one who wasn't a lemming. Senator Lincoln Chafee was the only Republican senator to vote against President Bush's wish to go to war with Iraq. That, in and of itself, makes him highly unusual and worth listening to. However, Chafee also describes what he calls George W. Bush's "mendacity," Bush's willingness to completely reverse himself on almost every major platform he ran on. Bush ran to be a uniter, but, in fact, was divider. Even without the enormous expense of the war in Iraq, Bush and Cheney rammed through the congress their $1.6 trillion tax cut, which Chafee informs us, was done, to drive the country into debt so that social programs could be cut. Bush/Cheney reversed their stance on trying to clean up the environment and thereby placed former Governor Christie Todd Whitman, who became their head of the EPA, in an untenable position. Most chilling, Chafee reports that his fellow Republicans let out a hoot of support when Bush/Cheney decided to essentially eliminate pollution controls on corporate polluters. The question is why? Why would any senator want to support the idea of helping industry continue to pollute the environment? Senator Chafee, echoing the sentiments of a granddaughter of Dwight D. Eisenhower, makes it quite clear that Bush/Cheney abandoned completely the precepts of the Republican party: fiscal responsibility, a humble foreign policy and Teddy Roosevelt's and Richard Nixon's legacy of being careful stewards of the environment. Chafee also makes it stunningly clear that Dick Cheney was an obdurate bully who insisted on getting everything he wanted, including a war in Iraq, even though his agenda was not at all a traditional Republican agenda. Bush/Cheney had no qualms about sending our soldiers out to sacrifice, get wounded or die in an essentially insane war of choice, but they also unbelievably robbed the till so that the rich could increase their wealth all at the cost of driving up the country's debt to amounts unprecedented at the same time. Yet, Chafee also explains how puny the Democrats were. How could anybody who knows history support a war in a country with such deep ethnic hatreds between three groups, the ruling Sunnis who were in the minority, the Kurds in the north and the majority Shiites? Trying to bring a democracy to that mix insures discord. Senator Chafee does explain how his fellow Republican Senator Jeffords dropped out of the party after the president dissed him. This resulted in a sea change of power, with the majority being returned to the Democrats. Since Bush/Cheney were planning on going to war in Iraq, how could they succeed if they lost the balance of power in the Senate? Little did they know how easily such democrats as John Kerry, Chris Dodd, John Edwards and Hillary Clinton would capitulate. They couldn't imagine it. To insure victory, they needed to gain back the majority in the 2002 election. Fortunately for them the biggest anti-war senator, Paul Wellstone, was killed in a plane crash. Chafee doesn't mention it, but lays the groundwork for coming to the obvious potential conclusion that Wellstone's death was not at all an accident. A country was planning on going to war, and he stood in the way. Missing from the story is Al Gore who warned the country about going to war in Iraq in December of 2001. He said: DON'T DO IT. Also missing was the mass rallies to stop the insanity, such as 400,000 protestors in New York City the day the war began, and something like 6 million worldwide also in the protest. Chafee also misses a huge opportunity to explain precisely why the war in Iraq was such a stupid move for the country. After 911, the whole world was unified against bin Laden and his small band of arch-villains. People from 90 countries were killed in the World Trade Center. We had a common enemy and the sentiments of the world on our side. At the same time, the world was also united against Saddam Hussein and inspectors continued to look for WMD in his country. When we went to war, we opposed France, Germany, the Soviet Union and China, all who warned us not to go to war. Further, the war was illegal, as Saddam Hussein had not attacked our country. In fact, he hadn't attacked any country. He had been crippled from the last war, and we had a no fly zone along the top half of his country. He was no threat even if he had WMD. Senator Chafee is to be commended for writing an important and personal account of how, virtually alone, he tried to keep his head about him when all the rest were losing theirs. It is a very sad comment that the head of Halliburton, a company whose profits rose over 900% after we went to war, under the guise of supposedly being a Republican, used the coffers of our country to pay off his buddies and get Democrats as well as Republicans to lick his boots at his say so.
