Book Description
Only fifteen years before his 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan blasted students on California’s campuses as “malcontents, beatniks, and filthy speech advocates.” But it was just a few years later that Hunter S. Thompson, citing “that maddening ‘FOUR MORE YEARS!’ chant from the Nixon Youth gallery in the convention hall,” heard the voices of those beatniks’ coevals who would become some of Reagan’s staunchest supporters. It is this cadre of young conservatives, more muted in the histories than the so-called Silent Majority, that this book brings to the fore. In Children of the Silent Majority Seth Blumenthal explains how, under Nixon, the Republican Party built its majority after 1968 with a forward-thinking, innovative appeal to young voters and leaders. Describing a complex network of influence, Blumenthal examines the role of youth in courting white ethnic, urban voters and, in turn, the role of race and education in the GOP’s targeted approach to young voters. He also considers the prominence of young moderate Republicans in the Nixon presidency as well as the importance of young voters in shaping Nixon’s policies on marijuana, the environment, and the draft. While pollsters, pundits, and politicians of the time expected youth to lean left, Nixon’s surprising effort established a model for a youth campaign that successfully shaped GOP strategy and operations throughout the 1980s. Identifying and defining that effort, Children of the Silent Majority captures a turning point in partisan politics and Republican fortunes and examines a critical moment in the growing importance of image in modern politics. The book suggests a new way of appraising and understanding the significance of young voters in elections and in American political life.

Book Description
Often seen as a political sop to the racial fears of white voters, aggressive policing and draconian sentencing for illegal drug possession and related crimes have led to the imprisonment of millions of African Americans—far in excess of their representation in the population as a whole. Michael Javen Fortner shows in this eye-opening account that these punitive policies also enjoyed the support of many working-class and middle-class blacks, who were angry about decline and disorder in their communities. Black Silent Majority uncovers the role African Americans played in creating today’s system of mass incarceration. Current anti-drug policies are based on a set of controversial laws first adopted in New York in the early 1970s and championed by the state’s Republican governor, Nelson Rockefeller. Fortner traces how many blacks in New York came to believe that the rehabilitation-focused liberal policies of the 1960s had failed. Faced with economic malaise and rising rates of addiction and crime, they blamed addicts and pushers. By 1973, the outcry from grassroots activists and civic leaders in Harlem calling for drastic measures presented Rockefeller with a welcome opportunity to crack down on crime and boost his political career. New York became the first state to mandate long prison sentences for selling or possessing narcotics. Black Silent Majority lays bare the tangled roots of a pernicious system. America’s drug policies, while in part a manifestation of the conservative movement, are also a product of black America’s confrontation with crime and chaos in its own neighborhoods.

Book Description
Just as Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense in 1776 as a call for freedom from an oppressive government, this book exposes how elite politicians in collaboration with aligned big business and institutions are using our government to gain control over the populace. Based on extensive research, this book highlights specific actions that individuals, small groups, or organizations can take to assure that government is accountable to "We the People" instead of special interests. This book will answer the following key questions:* Where did political correctness come from and what is its goal?* Why do those who advocate for "Big Government" protest so much?* How can we fulfill our moral imperative of properly educating children?* Why do politicians want to divide us when we have so much in common?* How can we reach out to others with compassion, logic, and truth?* How can we overcome media bias to learn the truth?

Book Description
Anonymous Cultures, The Silent Majority, offers a transformational narrative in managing company culture, along with tools and resources. Quality cultures allow leaders to lead, and strategies and tactics to be successfully executed. The result is competitive advantage.The vast majority of business cultures are anonymous. They operate as living, breathing entities operating out of sight of management. Because they fail to understand and value culture, management pursues a laissez-faire approach to managing culture. The silent majority is invisible. Maintaining a fragile or unknowing cultural status quo is competitive stagnation.Employee perception is subjective and anonymous to management because it operates outside of management's wheelhouse of skills and knowledge. Entrepreneurs and innovation are reshaping the business climate. Entrepreneurs and innovation are reshaping the business climate. For every corporate conglomerate there are newly created entrepreneurial organizations tapping into their customer base.Company culture is defined by employee perception. Perception is what employees feel and trust. The same perception drives customer perception. Perception drives brands. Perception drives employee behavior and performance. Perception drives business practices. Perception drives customer satisfaction and eventually, loyalty. Perception drives profit.Effective leadership and core values establish the boundaries of culture. Employee behavior and customer retention is simply a reflection of the environment. Culture management is a leadership discipline. The absence of culture management is precisely why business can be diverse and yet inclusion nonexistent. Employee opportunity and inclusion are not cultivated or managed.Cultural winds of change are blowing throughout society. Both Main Street and Wall Street feel the fury. Employees want and expect more. Shareholders expect more. Customers expect more. All want to become beneficiaries of a total quality organization inviting diversity, inclusion, and opportunity.Anonymous Cultures, The Silent Majority is a innovative resource for growing future opportunity. The ability of the enterprise to meet the expectations of shareholders, employees, and customers is determined by the capacity of its leadership. My goal is straightforward and simple, achieving competitive advantage.
