A Senator’s Fight Against Socialism
South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint says our nation has been on the path to socialism ever since big government was declared the solution to the Great Depression.

Listen to our extended interview with Sen. DeMint, author of “Saving Freedom: We Can Stop America’s Slide Into Socialism”. Let us know what you think!
