Synopsis

Winning Now is a book for anyone who wants to know how to transform their local, city, state or federal government from being ordinary to achieving excellence. In order to do this we must first understand the political and legislative process. I believe it is time we demand more from our government and those who are in charge of government. Most of our leaders will not to tell you the truth because if they did, there would be a rebellion on Election Day all across America. The fact of the matter is that their failed leadership has gotten us in the financial mess we are in at all levels of government. If they try to tell you that is not so, don't you believe them for a minute. This is a "how to" book. The ideas in this book provide proven, common sense solutions to some of our most difficult challenges regardless of whether we are talking about local, state, or federal government. The ideas shared in this book are proven to work, yet they are not popular among our elected leaders.
