John Kasich
calls it like he sees it. A former longtime U. S. congressman, respected author and popular television host,
Kasich
has been around the neighborhood a few times. In his first book,
Courage Is Contagious
, he celebrated the under-the-radar accomphshments of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to change America. Now, in
Stand for Something
, he tackles—head-on—the erosion of long-standing, hard-earned values upon which our nation is built.
Drawing on his childhood growing up in blue-collar McKees Rocks, PA, his college years, his Washington career, and his most recent turn in the private sector,
Kasich
reminds us of the fundamental principles that are our American legacy. In blunt, straight-shooting tones, he reveals new ways to hold our government officials accountable for their actions, and how to pressure sports figures to start living up to their role model status. And, saving the "best" for last, he takes on American popular culture, including the media, and asks us to use our wallets, the free press, and our own good judgment to protest all that is offensive in the current American way of life.
John Kasich's
audiobook is a rallying cry for all Americans that will make us think and—most important— make us get out of our easy chairs and
Stand for Something
.
