Aiken<\/strong>, a hillside farmer and a liberal Republican Depression-era Governor, rose to national prominence as a leading GOP U. S. Senator and enduring critic of the Vietnam War from 1962-1975. Aiken\u2019s long-standing friendship with Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, an unheard-of political alliance in today\u2019s sharply divided Washington, forged bi-partisan opposition to the war. Aiken was neither \u201chawk\u201d nor \u201cdove\u201d, but a \u201cwise owl\u201d who spoke his mind forcefully and bluntly to all against the war. He advised President Johnson to declare that the U. S. won the Vietnam War and to get out. Later, Aiken told President Nixon to stop bombing in Cambodia or he couldn\u2019t be elected \u201cdogcatcher.\u201d This is pure Aiken speaking truth to power for ending America\u2019s most controversial war, a common-sense voice that the Nation sorely needs today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This book demonstrates that bi-partisan Senate leadership has worked in the\npast and must be present in order to solve urgent national problems. Senator\nAiken was a catalyst for forging consensus on issues from civil rights to\nforeign policy by being open-minded to all ideas that would help his\nconstituents. Aiken\u2019s philosophy was always to help people first. He never made\ndecisions based on his party, a lost art in the current political environment.\nA Senator like George Aiken today would help show how to restore\nbi-partisanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$21.00 paperback, with black and white photos. Available now at select stores in Vermont, and everywhere after January 15, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Say We Won and Get Out: George D.
