Overview

"Thank goodness for the blast of fresh air that is Jesse Ventura. . . . When it comes to the battle between liberal sanctimony and conservative obstinance known as the culture wars, he appeals to both sides."

-LA Times

DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans uncovers the truth about how corporations have bought the American electoral and legislative process through the power of lobbyists, campaign contributions and political action committees. Covering historical details such as the development of the two-party system and the advent of third-party candidates throughout US history, DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans exposes how the two-major parties, acting like a gang-land cabal, have allowed corporations, businesses and politically-motivated wealthy individuals to manipulate elections, bribe elected officials and, in short, silence the average American voter.

Exposing the ineptitude of both parties at insuring the integrity and vitality of American democracy, Jesse Ventura advocates the replacement of the two-party system for a no party system based on the ideals of our Founding Fathers. As election time rolls around, this is most certainly the book that should be looked at for reforming our electorate system. The knowledge and research that have gone into DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans is unmatched, and if there was to be change, this is most certainly where it should start!

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Activist Dick Russell and former wrestler and governor Jesse Ventura have authored or co-authored free-thinking manifestoes such as Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! and American Conspiracies. In their new opus, they lace into our two political parties, which they have view as rival gangs preying on the public. At the heart of their diatribes though are the corporations, business, and billionaires who use the now unbridled powers of lobbyists to exact their will on our citizenship. With a proposal that crosses ideological lines, they argue that we should return to the no-party system of our Founding Fathers.

From the Publisher
"Providing crisp, well-paced narration that perfectly captures the author's gruff, no-nonsense attitude and straight-shooting personality . . . Heller's reading presents the book's theories, facts, and historical examples in a clear fashion that will keep listeners engaged until the very end." —-Publishers Weekly Audio Review
Los Angeles Times
“Thank goodness, then, for the blast of fresh air that is Jesse ‘the Body’ Ventura. . . . When it comes to the battle between liberal sanctimony and conservative obstinance known as the culture wars, he appeals to both sides. . . . The college crowd likes him because he calls out corporate greed and isn't afraid to connect the dots between rich donors and the legislative process. (He was also once a visiting fellow at Harvard, thereby making him, by his own account, a Harvard professor.) The ‘real folks’ like him because he never finished college himself, thereby proving that hard work (like professional wrestling) can take you further than a fancy degree.”
