Our country is convulsing with change. We are in the midst of a high-stakes national election, our economy is a roller-coaster, our environment is being plundered by corporate energy interests, the constitution has been shot full of holes, and we—as citizens—are now the proud public owners of the worst business decisions to come out of Wall Street in generations.

With so much going on and so much being lost, it’s important that we keep a sharper eye on those who would steal our freedoms while we’re distracted struggling to stay afloat. That’s why Naomi Wolf and her fellow watchdogs in the country are so vital to the survival of American democracy.

Power corrupts. It is one of the most basic elements of human nature. People in power seek to gain more.
