  • Author of The Next American Revolution, Charles Hooper

    From Amazon:
    Product Description
    In The Next American Revolution, Charles R. Hooper empowers the citizens of America with the information needed to demand congressional reform. Each individual American has the right and the power to legally, safely, and effectively take back their Congress. The four constitutional mechanisms available to the people to improve their government--speech, assembly, petition, and elections--have apparently stopped working. Fortunately, the Founding Fathers left their descendants with a never used, yet very real and effective fifth constitutional power. Americans can momentarily lay aside their differences and focus their combined powers toward one common cause--a revolution calling for a convention of the states specifically and solely for the purpose of restoring a people's legislature. The author explains why this is the peoples' best (and last) hope of seriously reforming the legislative branch of government.

    From Tate Publishing's Website:
    Average Joe
    The Story of an Unlikely Candidate
    by Robert Hickman & Susanna Hickman Bartee
    "Do you ever find yourself shouting at the television as you listen to a politician spout ideas you know are unsound?
    Joe Blankenship has been doing that more and more often over the past several years, and it's his belief that someone needs to step forward and represent sound ideals for the community. Then one day, an idea presents itself: What if that someone was me?
    Join authors Robert Hickman and Susanna Hickman Bartee as they introduce you to Average Joe's everyman Joe Blankenship—a retired, small-town American rancher who decides to speak up and run for office just to see if the establishment will listen. Joe is no political expert, and not even his own family expects his campaign to last long. But when he begins giving speeches about how the government ought to be held to the same standards as private citizens and businesses, his message resounds with just enough people—and support—to keep him going. He may always be just an Average Joe, but it turns out that might be exactly who his community has been looking for."

    About UsThe Free Enterprise Alliance is leading the campaign to Halt the Assault on America’s free enterprise system. The Free Enterprise Alliance is the action arm for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and other advocates of limited government, open and fair (and intense) competition, and the economically sound principles upon which America was built.
    At the heart of the Free Enterprise Alliance’s mission is the belief that while we need government for common sense regulations, the scales have tipped too far in favor of government intrusion and its advocates. The Free Enterprise Alliance believes small business and entrepreneurs grow jobs and our economy, not union bosses and federal bureaucrats.
    The Free Enterprise Alliance was originally founded by the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. to advocate for the voice of small business as well as open and fair competition. Since its inception, it has fought for these goals through research, outreach, and national TV, radio, and billboard campaigns.
    The Free Enterprise Alliance launched the Halt The Assault campaign in 2010 to give voice to Americans’ frustration over the attack on long-held values of fair play, looking out for the little guy, and the realization that capitalism is a good thing.
    ABC is a national trade association representing 25,000 merit shop construction and construction-related firms in 77 chapters across the United States. ABC’s membership represents all specialties within the U.S. construction industry and is comprised primarily of firms that perform work in the industrial and commercial sectors of the industry.

    Heritage Action for America is needed now more than ever.
    For nearly four decades, The Heritage Foundation has provided conservative leadership for America. What began as a visionary startup policy shop has blossomed into the most influential think tank in the nation. Along the way, Heritage adapted to market pressures to maintain its position as the world’s most cutting-edge and influential research institution.
    In 2010, just as millions of Americans concerned about the direction of our country have sought new ways to get involved in fighting for America’s future, The Heritage Foundation sought new ways to work towards an America where Freedom, Opportunity, Prosperity and Civil Society flourish. The answer was Heritage Action for America, an independent sister organization to the Heritage Foundation. We ensure members of Congress hear directly from their constituents, including over 700,000 members of The Heritage Foundation and millions of others around the country who believe in our principles and share our vision of America’s future.
    As a 501(c)(4) organization, Heritage Action for America allows unprecedented coordination and communication with concerned citizens who want to be part of the national dialogue. Our country stands at a precipice. The size and scope of the federal government is growing at unprecedented rates. The American people are increasingly aware of this and looking for more opportunities to make their voices heard and impact the decisions of their elected representatives. Heritage Action for America speaks directly to the American people in order to break through the establishment in Washington.

  • Author of The Roots of Obama's Rage, Dinesh D'Souza

    From Regnery's website:
    You Will Never See Obama the Same Way Again
    He’s been called many things: a socialist, a radical fellow traveler, a Chicago machine politician, a prince of the civil rights movement, a virtual second coming of Christ, or even a covert Muslim.
    But as New York Times bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza points out in his controversial new book, The Roots of Obama’s Rage, these labels merely slap our own preconceived notions on Barack Obama.
    The real Obama is a man shaped by experiences far different from those of most Americans; he is a much stranger, more determined, and exponentially more dangerous man than you’d ever imagined. He is not motivated by civil rights struggles, socialist principles, or the tenets of Islam. What really motivates Barack Obama is an inherited rage—an often masked, but profound rage that comes from his African father; an anti-colonialist rage against Western dominance, and most especially against the wealth and power of the very nation Barack Obama now leads.
    It is this rage that explains the previously inexplicable, and that gives us a startling look at what might lie ahead. In The Roots of Obama’s Rage you’ll learn:
    -Why Obama’s economic policies are actually designed to make America poorer compared to the rest of the world
    -Why Obama will welcome a nuclear Iran
    -Why Obama sees America as a rogue nation—worse than North Korea
    -The real reason Obama banished a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House and ordered NASA to praise the scientific contributions of Muslims
    -Why Obama would like to make America’s superpower status a thing of the past
    Stunning, provocative, original, and telling—no one has better diagnosed who Obama is, what he intends to do, and why he poses an existential threat to America than Dinesh D’Souza in The Roots of Obama’s Rage.

  • Author of Crimes Against Liberty, David Limbaugh

    "As Americans, liberty is an inalienable right that is granted to us by God, protected by the Constitution, and upheld by our government. Yet, Barack Obama doesn’t seem to share that view. To him, liberty is a threat to the government’s power and something to be squashed by any means possible, as bestselling author David Limbaugh shows to devastating effect in his new book, Crimes Against Liberty. In Crimes Against Liberty, Limbaugh issues a damning indictment of President Barack Obama for encroaching upon and stripping us of our individual and sovereign rights. Laying out his case like he would a criminal complaint, Limbaugh presents the evidence—count-by-count—against Obama. From exploiting the financial crisis for political gain, to restricting our personal freedoms through invasive healthcare and “green” policies, to endangering America with his feckless diplomacy and reckless dismantlement of our national security systems, Limbaugh proves—beyond a reasonable doubt—that Obama is guilty of crimes against liberty. Comprehensive and compelling, this is Limbaugh’s most powerful book yet (http://www.regnery.com/books/crimesagainstliberty.html)."
