Flaming Moderate

A Riveting Journey and Quest to Save DemocracyFrom the flames of a Ku Klux Klan cross burning in his home's front yard, to dealing with the aftermath of Martin Luther King's assassination, to knowing and working with some of our nation's most effective public servants, this book shares the passion of reasoned and reasonable people working together to resolve problems and meet opportunities at the global, national, state, and local levels. Highly praised, published columns dig into issues big and small, vital to those interested in improving their community, state, and nation.The book describes, praises, and encourages specific leaders of both parties in our extremely difficult task of making this democracy work for everyone.It concludes with a specific recommendation of action by the reader and others that, the author believes, could contribute to addressing not only the survival of the American dream, but embolden our effort to do so.
