Here for the first time is the inside story of Melvin Zuttville, the transformative congressional candidate who defied the odds and won equal rights for the most oppressed class of people in American history. Every step of his historic campaign is detailed here, from Zuttville's bold decision to run for Congress, to his abduction and mutilation by a white supremacist militia, all the way to his final transcendence upon the Long Arc of History. Readers will get the inside scoop on all the key players, including Zuttville's incorrigible best friend, his infallible campaign manager, and his remorseless cat, along with a tutorial on local and national "sausagemaking" from one of the most equitable Homelessness Studies majors the University of Minnesota has ever produced. No one with an interest in modern Progressive politics can afford to miss this book.
