Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham offers a collection of inspiring words about how to be a good citizen, from Thomas Jefferson and others, and reminds us why our country’s founding principles are still so important today.

In this book, Thibault introduces us to the political "5-3-5 framework" and the V3SM "V3 story model". No, this is not about cars, but it will definitely ignite your engine and get you moving in the right direction. The political game will take what used to be very complex, supercharge your policy engine, and within 15 minutes, if you can't nail an issue and get on course, then you really don't have an issue to worry about. When you succeed at policy, the benefits can be tremendous. Are you game?

As both an evangelical Christian and a member of the Hollywood community, Coleman Luck has had a unique vantage point from which to view the cultural and political wars of the last decades. It is from this double perspective that he has written The Curse of Conservatism.

Honest, objective, and informed political debates are all too rare in today's polarized and partisan climate. Public policy is increasingly driven by ideology while political spin, distortions, and even demonizing opponents by disseminating outright lies are routine practice from Washington to the local city council.

U.S. exceptionalism, the idea that the United States of America is superior to other nations, is no more fact-based and no less harmful than racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry. The purpose of this audiobook is to persuade you of that statement.

Crowdsourcing is a term that was coined in 2006 to describe how the commercial sector was beginning to outsource problems or tasks to the public through an open call for solutions over the internet or social media.

With four distinct tours of duty during his eight decades on this earth, LC Johnson has brought a world of experience to the county he calls home. While he and his wife, Gracie, deliberately chose the area that is now Peachtree Corners for their retirement, it is what this community represents that first attracted the pair. LC spent his earliest years, his first tour of duty, as the son of cotton farmers in southern Mississippi. He responded to the rumblings of the early civil rights movement and heeded the advice of many of the elders in his life by joining the military.

It is not our institutions that are broken - it is our politics. We have a Republic our founding fathers never intended, where unlimited campaign contributions and congressional seniority keep Americans from having a real say in our government. Disunity and hyperpartisanship keep this system in place. It is time to change all that. When our elected leaders fail us, when corporations call the shots and make the laws, who is left to make it right? No one but all of us.

On February 14, 2018, 17-year-old David Hogg and his 14-year-old sister, Lauren, went to school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, like any normal Wednesday. That day, of course, the world changed. By the next morning, with 17 classmates and faculty dead, they had joined the leadership of a movement to save their own lives and the lives of all other young people in America. It's a leadership position they did not seek and did not want - but events gave them no choice.

Für dieses Hörbuch wurden Aufnahmen zusammengestellt, in denen nicht der Schriftsteller, sondern der Psychologe und Bürgerrechtler Jürgen Fuchs im Mittelpunkt steht. In den Gesprächen schildert er eindringlich die psychischen Folgen von Unterdrückung und Gewaltherrschaft durch das SED-Regime, sowohl auf der sehr persönlichen Ebene als auch im Hinblick auf die gesamte Gesellschaft. Die Gespräche mit ihm sind Dokumente gegen die Verklärung der DDR.
