Jeffords made international news when he bolted the Republican Party in 2001 and gave the Democrats control of the U.S. Senate. Fascinating, proud, and replete with the common sense wisdom that has made Jeffords a hero to so many Americans, "An Independent Man" is a testament to change. From Wikipedia: "James Merrill "Jim" Jeffords (born May 11, 1934) is a former U.S. Senator from Vermont. Sworn in to the Senate in 1989, he served as a Republican until 2001, when he left the party to become an Independent and began caucusing with the Democrats. He retired from the Senate in 2007. Prior to the Senate, he served as the U.S. Representative for Vermont's At-large congressional district from 1975 to 1989.Even before switching parties, Jeffords' voting record was moderate-to-liberal, which has long been typical of Republicans from Vermont. By the time of his switch, no Republican Senator had a lower lifetime score from the American Conservative Union. In 1981, Jeffords was the only Republican member of the House to vote against a bill reducing the top tax rate from 70 per cent to 50 per cent a hallmark of President Ronald Reagan's legacy. During his time in the Senate, he voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Brady Bill, the Family and Medical Leave Act, an end to the ban on gays serving in the military, and against permanent normal trade relations with China and barring affirmative action at the federal level. Jeffords was also vocal in his opposition to the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the United States Supreme Court by President George H.W. Bush. He was one of only two Republicans to vote against confirming Clarence Thomas. In 1993, he was the only prominent Republican to support President Clinton's unsuccessful attempt to establish a national healthcare plan. Jefford's voting record and positions on environmental issues put further distance between himself and his Republican Party colleagues. Jeffords consistently voted against the ban on partial-birth abortion, and also against a harsher line on Cuba. In 1995 he was one of only 16 Senators to vote against the Communications Decency Act. The Supreme Court later struck it down as unconstitutional. Jeffords highly advocated LGBT rights in the workplace. He sponsored The Employee Non Discrimination Act of 1995 (104th Congress), 1997 (105th Congress), and 1999 (106th Congress). Jeffords Non Discrimination bills did not include "gender identity." He was in the minority of Republicans to oppose the Flag Desecration Amendment. On guns his record was mixed, despite voting for the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, he voted with gun control opponents against background checks at gun shows in 1999 and he voted with the majority of Congress for the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. He took a more moderate line on the death penalty. On many economic issues Jeffords was roughly in line with the majority of the Republican Party, before and after his switch: he mostly supported free-trade agreements, voted for making enforcement of consumer protection laws more difficult by moving many class-action lawsuits into federal courts, tighter bankruptcy rules, and a Balanced Budget Amendment. Even after becoming an independent, he did vote with Republicans on many major pieces of legislation. For example, Jeffords did vote against the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act, a bill supported strongly by Republican John McCain and many moderate Republicans like Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter, and Mike DeWine. Two years later he voted for the prescription drug bill, derided by many Democrats as a give away to drug companies and opposed by many conservative Republicans who opposed further federal spending, but ultimately strongly supported by President George W. Bush, and the vast majority of the Republican Party. On October 11, 2002, Jeffords was one of 23 senators to vote against authorizing the use of military force in Iraq. Shortly after that, he.

Senator Jim Jeffords's disarmingly frank memoir recounts his childhood in Rutland, Vermont, putting himself through Yale University with the help of NROTC, traveling the world during his three-year navy service, and being a Harvard Law School student. In his first term as Vermont state senator, Jeffords already had a reputation for being a maverick Republican. He supported welfare bills and environmental protection. As Vermont's attorney general, he helped draft and then implement some of the most important legislation in the nation -- the bottle bill, ban on billboards, and land protection. During his congressional years, Jeffords concerned himself with issues of education, energy, and dairy farming. Jeffords's disagreements with the second Bush administration and the Republican leadership led to his decision to leave the party. In this memoir, he tells us more about who he is and what he believes in and what led him to that decision. He concludes with a section on how we must rebuild America after September 11 and why we must improve our education system.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. First Printing [Stated]. [2], 136, [6] pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The Senator's personal account of his break from the Republican Party. James Merrill Jeffords (May 11, 1934 - August 18, 2014) was a U.S. Senator from Vermont. In 1988 he was the successful Republican nominee for the United States Senate seat held by the retiring Robert Stafford. He served as a Republican until 2001, when he left the party to become an Independent and began caucusing with the Democrats. His switch changed control of the Senate from Republican to Democratic, the first time a switch had ever changed party control. Jeffords retired from the Senate in 2007. He graduated from Yale University, served for three years in the United States Navy, and then attended Harvard Law School, from which he received his degree in 1962. Jeffords served one term in the Vermont Senate (1967-1969), and two as Attorney General of Vermont (1969-1973). Prior to the Senate, he served as the U.S. Representative for Vermont's at-large congressional district from 1975 to 1989. Senator James Jeffords of Vermont left the Republican Party on May 24, 2001, when he could no longer reconcile his beliefs with the policies of the party he had supported his whole adult life. In "My Declaration of Independence," Jeffords explains the issues that led to this dramatic break. Foremost among them was the Bush Administration's and the Republican leadership's failure to recognize the need to invest in education. Tracing the genesis of his decision, Jeffords describes his attempts to effect change within his party, and the pain of hurting Republican colleagues and friends. His decision came just at the moment when his defection would deprive them of the Washington trifecta they had recently achieved -- Republican control of the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. It was also going to cost many of his friends committee chairmanships they had acquired only a few months before. Senator Jeffords provides a moving, witty, and instructive example of what can happen in public life. It is a riveting story that has wide implications for the whole country.
