Mickey Edwards’ New Book: The Parties Versus The People

I’m excited to pass on word of an important new book written by my friend and mentor, former Republican Oklahoma Congressman Mickey Edwards.

As he writes compellingly, American politics has become a system “of the parties, by the parties, and for the parties.  Instead of a government of Americans working together to solve national problems, we have two rival governments — two private clubs — more interested in their agendas than America’s well-being.”

In his new book, The Parties Versus The People: How to Turn Republicans and Democrats into Americans, Edwards proposes serious, fundamental, specific reforms to turn our political system upside down and put power back in the hands of the American people.

I encourage you to purchase it.  And if you are in the DC area, Mickey will be the featured guest author at Politics & Prose on, Thursday, August 16 at 7:00 p.m, 5015 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, (202) 364-1919
