About:

George Santos is the Republican Candidate for New York’s 3rd Congressional District.

Born in Jackson Heights, Queens to immigrant parents, George Santos grew up in a tight-knit Queens family. His mother Fatima Devolder was born in Brazil to Belgian immigrants that fled the devastation of World War II Europe.

His father Junior Santos also grew up in Brazil. Each emigrated to the United States as young adults, where they met, married and started a family.

Having grown up in a variety of north Queens neighborhoods, George went to elementary school at PS 122 in Astoria, then attended IS 125 in Sunnyside. He began Horace Mann preparatory school in the Bronx, but did not graduate from Horace Mann due to financial difficulties for his family; he obtained a GED during his senior year. He went on to earn a dual Bachelors’ in Economics and Finance from Baruch College.

After graduating, George began working at Citigroup as an associate and quickly advanced to the role of associate asset manager in the real asset division of the firm. George later joined LinkBridge Investors, rapidly progressing to become one of the youngest vice presidents in the industry. George is currently the Regional Director of Harbor City Capital where he oversees the firm’s expansion within the private wealth side of the business.

George Anthony was instilled with a passion for philanthropy from an early age. His mother, who passed away in 2016, believed strongly in sharing with people less fortunate and never forgot the basic principles of why her family fled from Europe to Brazil, and why she then emigrated to America looking for a better life. She founded an institution in Brazil to help over 300 impoverished families gain access to basic necessities, providing non-perishable food monthly over a period of 18 years.

New York, NY, September 22, 2020 — The 2020 presidential election is fast approaching amid a backdrop unlike any other: a pandemic, protests, disastrous acts of nature and students stuck schooling from home. Now, more than ever, we need smooth-running and fair elections to see us through these crises. But how healthy is our democracy?

“The hard truth is that the political power of citizens varies widely by state, and the system overall is failing ordinary Americans,” says Elizabeth Rusch, public policy expert and author of You Call This Democracy? How to Fix Our Government and Deliver Power to the People. “My mission is to highlight ways for us to work together to shape a more effective democracy, one that reflects the will of the people. I’m convinced that small state-level improvements in our elections could lead to huge leaps forward for our country.”

Whether you’re an engaged citizen, educator, parent or student seeking the truth, Rusch paves the way for every citizen to not only understand the flaws in our current democracy but to also fix them.

With states making many last-minute adjustments to election rules, Rusch’s book gives an honest view of how our democracy truly functions, who really has the power and why (and how that power impacts politicians and policies) and how we can work together to make our democracy more responsive to the will of the people.

You Call This Democracy? offers insightful statewide and national solutions to undemocratic elements plaguing our government, with inspirational examples of citizens already working to make change. International comparisons, extensive sources and resources prompt readers to dig deeper―and take action.

Supplementary materials to the book include Rusch’s “50 State Democracy Report Card,” where people can check to see how democracy fares in their state overall and on specific metrics, and how they can strengthen democracy in their state; and a series of short, fun, informative videos on the issues covered in the book, called Flash Course on Democracy. Additionally, discussion guides and debate questions are also available at her website below.

Elizabeth Rusch is the author of 20 award-winning books, and more than 100 magazine and newspaper articles. She is also the creator of the “50 State Democracy Report Card” and the video series Flash Course on Democracy. Rusch and her work have been f

About Joe:

Joe’s passion to serve others started at an early age and earned him the nickname “GI Joe.” Ironically, he was always intrigued by the Military and Prominent Leaders like George Bush, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and John F. Kennedy.

Joe made the most important decision of his first step into adulthood. He was going to follow in the footsteps of the men he admired so greatly; Joe Collins joined the US Navy. Serving 13 and a half successful years as an Aviation Machinist Mate, Joe Collins worked and trained thousands of sailors on many types of aircraft including the F-18 Super Hornet, E6 Mercury, and the MH60 Sea-hawk.

With the help of the US Navy, he also became a licensed financial professional. Joe’s passion to help others also came in the form of becoming a Certified Counselor for rape and sexual assault victims As a sailor in the US Navy, Joe served during the successful campaign, “Operation Iraqi Freedom”. He also served in the recruiting duty area, where he earned numerous honors and awards. This was a role Joe enjoyed immensely, as he had the pleasure of jumpstarting the future careers for many of our young American leaders of today.

Cincinnati, OH, September 29, 2020 — Children may never learn their names and hear their stories in Sunday school, but there are plenty of “ordinary people” all around us who have accomplished God’s remarkable work in their own individual ways. In Ordinary People Extraordinary God: 17 Personal Stories of Lives Transformed by the Love of God, author Rick Schatz shares inspirational true stories of everyday people who answered God’s call to service.

“Most were not raised in Christian homes but have made a commitment to Christ and are serving him in various ways around the world,” Schatz explains. “Few, if any, would be considered superstars in the eyes of the world, but each of them is serving others in life-changing ways.”

Ordinary People Extraordinary God profiles personal friends and contacts of Schatz’s who have served Jesus in a variety of capacities, such as becoming a hospice nurse later in life, writing books, developing resources to help others in need and serving in churches. The honest accounts don’t hide the flaws and struggles that these servants endured. In fact, it’s through pointing out the insecurities and the ups and downs that Schatz underscores the fact that God can and does use “ordinary people” to reach others with His love and grace. This book also shares that all God needs from His followers is their availability because He will supply everything else that is needed to get His work done.

As readers follow the 17 journeys featured in the book, it is Schatz’s hope that the stories will encourage and challenge people to first seek God and then to serve Him for His glory.

“The goal of the book is to encourage others to seek a personal relationship with God and for those who already have such a personal relationship to dream bigger and reach for the stars in serving Him,” Schatz adds.

Author Rick Schatz earned a BS in chemical engineering and an MBA from Harvard, where he became a Christian during his second year. In addition to a long career as an executive for several major corporations, including as the founder and part-owner of Creative Waterworks, Schatz has been a deacon, elder, Bible teacher and preacher since 1969.

He has also served on the board and leadership teams of On Target prison ministry, Spiritual Counterfeits Project and the John Guest Evangelistic Crusade in Cincinnati.

Schatz officially left the business world in 1990 and served with pureHope ministry as COO and president/CEO from 1990 u
