| Do
I Stand Alone?: Going to the Mat Against
Political Pawns and Media Jackals MUD-SLINGING
POLITICIANS, IDEOLOGICAL FANATICS, AND APATHETIC
NONVOTERS BEWARE: GOVERNOR JESSE VENTURA'S GOT A
FEW CHOICE WORDS FOR YOU....
In his
first controversial New York Times bestseller, I Ain't Got Time to Bleed, ex-Navy SEAL
and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura told the
remarkable story of his climb up the Reform Party
ladder to the governorship of Minnesota. Now,
with jackhammer force and candor, Governor
Ventura issues an urgent wake-up call to America
-- a resounding indictment of our creeping
national cynicism, and how our political system
rewards mediocrity while turning a blind eye to
accountability.
In Do I
Stand Alone? Ventura sternly warns against the
danger of expecting too little from our elected
officials. He decries the ease with which most
Americans surrender their freedoms and
apathetically accept a system of governance
driven more by pork and patronage than by the
best interests of the constituency. He also
denounces an irresponsible media, taking them to
task for too often confusing fame with notoriety,
and for driving the news instead of simply
reporting it. And he unabashedly speaks out on
today's hot-button issues, including welfare,
racism, youth violence, immigration, abortion,
campaign finance reform, and gay rights.
Giving
us fascinating insights into the future of
independent parties, Governor Ventura ushers us
deep into the polished corridors of power,
exposing the best -- and worst -- of our current
crop of political personalities. He offers
straightforward, uncompromising profiles of the
current presidential candidates, and lays out a
workable strategy for bringing our political
system -- and its politicians -- back to
greatness.
In a
forthright, razor-sharp, and entertaining
critique, Governor Jesse Ventura has once again
thrown down the gauntlet -- challenging today's
politicians as well as a disenchanted public to
transcend the tired rhetoric and defiantly
reclaim the freedom and opportunity that is our
American birthright.
