Jim Hightower: Seeking submissions for Gooberheads, Crazy Cruz, and more!

Dear Fellow Agitators,

The Hightower gang is extremely pleased to announce a very special upcoming issue of Hightower's monthly, populist newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown (www.hightowerlowdown.org) our first annual Gooberhead Awards, coming this July.

The Gooberheads have been conceived to recognize those pre-eminent gasbags in public life who don’t let the danger they pose to the rest of us restrain them from opening their mouths. Politicians, media folk, corporados, sports stars, pop culture divas, mega-donors... there are so many possibilities, national and local, and we need your help in finding the most deserving among them all.

We know that it’s just hard sometimes to tell where Gooberism stops and Greedheadism begins. So we’re throwing the net wide. Who knows what we’ll drag up?!

Submit your your nominees via this form. goo.gl/forms/T1RlGpWGvl

Thanks y'all, And keep agitating!

The Hightower gang
