In the midst of this dissent-discouraged era-in which the Administration goes to all lengths to hide truth and restrict the flow of information-comes a most timely title: Voices From The Blue States. A collection of essays from people across the country, Voices From The Blue States truly presents Commentary From The Rest of America. "Thought provoking and positive, exciting and illuminating describe 'Voices From The Blue States,' a timely anthology of political essays compiled by Mack Williams." -Terry B., bestselling author of Dancer's Paradise and At Midnight: Choice Fowler's Story. "Voices From the Blue States is an engaging and provocative read, particularly for those who are frustrated with our country's current political climate. An inspirational and passionate mouthpiece, these essays put into words the thoughts and feelings many of us have been experiencing but were perhaps too timid to verbalize. You don't have to be from a Blue State to speak your mind OR enjoy this book." -Crissi Bariatti, B&N. "A compelling look at the state of political affairs in America today." -Jana Johnson Broadie, Founder, Indigo Ink.

There is a growing realization that many of the problems afflicting American elections can be traced to the electoral system itself, in particular to our winner-take-all approach to electing officials. Douglas Amy demonstrates that switching to proportional representation elections--the voting system used in most other Western democracies, by which officials are elected in large, multimember districts according to the proportion of the vote won by their parties--would enliven democratic political debate, increase voter choice and voter turnout, ensure fair representation for third parties and minorities, eliminate wasted votes and "spoliers," and ultimately produce policies that better reflect the public will. Looking beyond new voting machines and other quick fixes for our electoral predicament, this new edition of Real Choices/New Voices offers a timely and imaginative way out of the frustrations of our current system of choosing leaders.

Democrats have been frustrated not only by the lack of a clear message by the party leadership in the 2000, 2002, and 2004 campaigns but also by the lack of courage in articulating such a message. This book started as an answer to that persistent weakness. Countering the conservative Red State culture and its result, a quasi-vassal state indebted to foreign interests, the author analyzes Democratic Party politics and lays out a theoretical justification and historic, economic and social framework for advancing a new set of liberal-progressive ideas. Analyzing Red and Blue regions and the links with economic history, he shows how the Democrats can become the majority party again. - Publisher.

About the Book The development of a moral democracy in America was undertaken amidst war and colonial disagreement. This was just the beginning as America’s founders embodied democracy within a Constitution including procedures for making future adjustments (laws) as needed. Early on, historians called this the “great experiment.” Today, the foundations of this experiment are under attack and not with physical violence only or just from without, but coming from a distorted ideology emerging within America’s own borders. Value confusion and value polarization have many in their grips as the shade of reasoning appears to have been lowered making room for half-truths and outright lies. And Americans can’t neglect their own responsibilities: reflective morality consists not only of forming judgments of value, but of setting forth the reasons for one’s judgments. A vibrant democracy depends on this. But are most prepared and, even if they are, will they be willing participants? About the Author Joseph P. Hester earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Georgia in 1973 where he held a teaching assistantship in the Department of Philosophy and a research assistantship with the Georgia Studies of Creative Behavior. With an interest in “pre-college” philosophy and while teaching at Campbell University, he made a shift to public education. He then completed two years of postdoctoral studies in education earning both teaching and administrative certifications in several different areas. Hester spent 37 years in college and public-school education. He served as an adjunct professor at Lenoir-Rhyne and Appalachian State Universities from 1978-1998, teaching both philosophy and graduate courses in education. Since 2010, he has served on the editorial board for the Journal of Values-based Leadership for which he is a frequent contributor.

Here in their own words are Frederick Douglass, George Jackson, Chief Joseph, Martin Luther King Jr., Plough Jogger, Sacco and Vanzetti, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Mark Twain, and Malcolm X, to name just a few of the hundreds of voices that appear in Voices of a People's History of the United States, edited by Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove. Paralleling the twenty-four chapters of Zinn's A People's History of the United States, Voices of a People’s History is the long-awaited companion volume to the national bestseller. For Voices, Zinn and Arnove have selected testimonies to living history—speeches, letters, poems, songs—left by the people who make history happen but who usually are left out of history books—women, workers, nonwhites. Zinn has written short introductions to the texts, which range in length from letters or poems of less than a page to entire speeches and essays that run several pages. Voices of a People’s History is a symphony of our nation’s original voices, rich in ideas and actions, the embodiment of the power of civil disobedience and dissent wherein lies our nation’s true spirit of defiance and resilience.

" Assessing where the red/blue political line lies in swing states and how it is shifting Democratic-leaning urban areas in states that otherwise lean Republican is an increasingly important phenomenon in American politics, one that will help shape elections and policy for decades to come. Blue Metros, Red States explores this phenomenon by analyzing demographic trends, voting patterns, economic data, and social characteristics of twenty-seven major metropolitan areas in thirteen swing states—states that will ultimately decide who is elected president and the party that controls each chamber of Congress. The book's key finding is a sharp split between different types of suburbs in swing states. Close-in suburbs that support denser mixeduse projects and transit such as light rail mostly vote for Democrats. More distant suburbs that feature mainly large-lot, single-family detached houses and lack mass transit often vote for Republicans. The book locates the red/blue dividing line and assesses the electoral state of play in every swing state. This red/blue political line is rapidly shifting, however, as suburbs urbanize and grow more demographically diverse. Blue Metros, Red States is especially timely as the 2020elections draw near. "

Barack Obama did not just appear on the political arena in Chicago as a formidable and savvy politician, but rather he is a product of fervent, persistent prayers to an impartial God who answered the cries of his people. He was born for this turbulent moment in the history of the United States of America. He is the fulfillment of Dr. Martin Luther King's Jr. dream...TO TAKE THE NATION TO THE PROMISED LAND. Suzzane Njuguna-Randon was born and grew up in Kenya, East Africa, during the struggle for independence from the British who had colonized her beautiful country before Kenya became independent in 1963. When Suzzane was three years old, the British soldiers ravaged her village, and burned down the little mud huts where her mother lived. But alas! When they saw the little light-skinned toddler lying on the floor near the fire, they stopped and asked her mother "is this baby from us?" Her frightened mother answered yes, but Suzzane was 100% African - God caused the little baby to look 'half-white' and as a result, she and her family escaped death by inferno! As the story goes, her mother knew all along that Suzzane was pre-destined from birth to do a great work in her generation. This call was to ultimately take her to America to pray and intercede for what God was planning to do in the U.S.A. and hence the emergence of a young black man in the name of Barack Obama, who was elected the 44th President of United States of America.
