This is American and the World

Dennis Wholey’s review of Fixing Congress: begins “If you want to know how Congress works – or doesn’t work – Fixing Congress – is an amazing book with its mission to save us from those we elect to the legislature. Fixing Congress is packed with facts and figures, theory of what the Founding Fathers had in mind (and what’s possible), insights about why it’s broken, and yes, not so farfetched solutions to fix the mess – including some that never occurred to me, make sense and are really worth debate.” Continue at Reveiws and search for Wholey.

“…His (Climer’s) book, a collaborative effort with Michael S. Johnson, is a comprehensive journey through Congress’ history, illuminating its evolution over time. It presents a series of daring proposals, backed by extensive research and expertise, with the aim of restoring Congress to the people who pay for it — the American people.” See the Chowan Herald’s May 13, 2024 story.

Fixing Congress: Restoring Power to the People is available from Morgan James Publishing, Target, Amazon, Walmart, Books-a-Million, and most online bookstores, as well as through some local libraries.

“Both young people and working adults need a better understanding of an often-dysfunctional Congress that seems to have reached rock bottom in public esteem. Fixing Congress is a must-read for new voters and community leaders looking for solutions, not scapegoats.”
