FEATURED NEWS AND COLUMNS
Introducing Terri McCormick's upcoming book release:
"What Sex is a Republican?" Stories From The Front Line In Politics (And How You Can Change The Way Things Are)
By Terri McCormick A.A., B.A., M.A.
ARRIVING SPRING 2009
Summary:
What Sex is a Republican takes a look at the political game from behind the curtain with one intention: to call on each of us to serve in our local, state and federal government.
The principles of Republican government have been lost on the money changers in our state and national capitols.
There is only one way to change that; we the people must take responsibility for what our government has become, while we weren’t looking.
Benjamin Franklin said it best as he was leaving Liberty Hall upon signing the Constitution when asked, “what kind of government did the delegates create?” "A Republic, if you can keep it!”
Terri McCormick tackles political reform, taking politics to the people through a series of talk shows, books, and interviews. Terri will be partnering with Dan Davies, touring the best pubs in America. She will use light-hearted conversation with candidates for public office, Republican, Democrat and Independent alike. Terri's unique style of intellectual humor will help you to get to know the candidates. View her first interview below.
