Kathleen Wesselink, DTM/PDGPast Distinguished Governor of District 35 ToastmastersRomancing the Voters is a series of issues that find their way into the public arena year after year.More about the book after something from the Author, Fred Schnaubelt.Hi, I'm Fred.I was born in San Diego and since 21 have struggled to find answers to recurring political issues. I grew up in Casa de Oro and graduated from Pt. Loma High School in 1958. I have married 3 times. I met Dr. Irina Nekolaevna Antonova in Russia and married her in Moscow in 1987, just before the Soviet Union collapsed. I have two adult children. At my age I'm thinking ahead and want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather and not screaming like the passengers in his car. So I'm sharing nuggets gleaned from researching over 500 books on the most persuasive responses to some ever current political issues. The issues addressed are intended to be controversial and hard. Answers and insight required thousands of hours of research, ever since I was 21 and first registered to vote. I need your help in emailing your comments about my book to your friends and in reaching my publisher's estimate of 10,000 sales."Romancing" is defined as: telling exaggerated lies, telling an untruth, or pretending with intent to deceive, frequently done, but not always by politicians. This is an introduction to the Art of Political Cross-dressing --- using your adversaries own words against them in debate. The issues come fast and furious with little time to think about them. These chapters have enough material in them to deliver fifteen 7 to 10 minute talks to your Toastmasters Club or the basis for 250-500 word Letters to the Editor. First, you'll understand, for instance, why some people in local elections can win with only a few thousand votes of the VEP in a city the size of San Diego, you'll understand how liberals and conservatives think differently --- which you can use to your advantage. There are issues that never seem to go away such as gun control, the death penalty, and the "The Rich Get Richer and Poor Get Poorer." You will know when the media intentionally or unintentionally misrepresents data about the gap between rich and poor, and who really benefits from minimum wage laws. You will learn why speculation and price gouging, stripped of emotion, are beneficial to society. In addition, you'll know why Martin Luther King was a Republican. You will become versed in several "Teachable Moments," for family, friends and co-workers.
