ISBN10: 0299225402, ISBN13: 9780299225407, [publisher: University of Wisconsin Press, Wisconsin] Hardcover First Edition Hardcover. David Obey has in his nearly forty years in the U.S. House of Representatives worked to bring economic and social justice to America's working families. In 2007 he assumed the chair of the Appropriations Committee and is positioned to pursue his priority concerns for affordable health care, education, environmental protection, and a foreign policy consistent with American democratic ideals. Here, in his autobiography, Obey looks back on his journey in politics beginning with his early years in the Wisconsin Legislature, when Wisconsin moved through eras of shifting balance between Republicans and Democrats. On a national level Obey traces, a few others have done, the dramatic changes in the workings of the U.S. Congress since his first election to the House in 1969.
