Lt. Governor Bill Ratliff is an engineer, a widely respected senator, and according to Caroline Kennedy he is an inspiration to all who serve in government, and to all Americans. Senator Ratliff, nicknamed Obi Wan Kenobi by his colleagues, was a revered and much loved leader in Texas for more than a decade. He singularly wrote the Texas Robin-Hood school finance law, a major Ethics reform law, a Texas tort reform law, and held a great disdain for narrow partisanship and politics. This is the inspirational story of a great man doing good work in a time when many are cynical about political leadership and government. His courageous stand on principle brought him to a showdown with powerful forces in the Bush White House and earned him the public vitriol of right-wing billionaires.
