In 1999 a former TV journalist sobered up and subsequently stumbled onto an opportunity to direct a rural Chamber of Commerce in the ninth poorest district in America. His innovative initiatives to turn around the region landed him the support of a former President of the United States. In 2002 he was asked to run for United States Congress. He declined. In 2004 he was asked to run again and answered his 'Congressional Calling'. Politically Independent, he was neither Democrat nor Republican. As a conservative Christian, he leaned more toward the GOP and ran for Congress in the 2nd District of Georgia as a Republican. His journalistic training enabled him to infiltrate the Republican Party. He saw first hand how Governor Sonny Perdue and his Republican 'Team Georgia' littered the campaign trail with carcasses of Republican candidates that were not from 'Team Good ol’ Boy'. Relive his struggle to get the 'Ritchie Rich' of the Republican Party, Ralph Reed to stand by his word. As the former Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, Reed turned his back on the people of Southwest Georgia. He reneged on his promise to unleash the vast resources of the Republican Party to help the people of rural Georgia. The Democrats were also at fault beginning with Lt. Governor Mark Taylor and ending with the man who for the last dozen years has been the pied piper of the impoverished, Sleepy Sanford Bishop, the congressman of the 2nd District. Congressional Calling, IS the inside story of Georgia Politics. Congressional Calling, the Inside Story is an informative true story that rocks the political boat to help you know how to cast your next vote.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
