Media Interview Topics

Journalists, editors and producers: read other sections of this web page for my professional experiences and speaking topics. This will give you a good idea of what my areas of expertise are and how I can make your interview or story a better one for your readers, listeners or viewers.

Some of the topics on which I can be interviewed are:

Election Analysis Who will win and why including issues, personalities, coat tails and trends.
PAC (Political Action Committees) What functions they perform, how to start and/or make one thrive, how candidates select which PACs to solicit and how PACs choose which candidate to support. I been in strategy sessions with both candidates seeking PAC money and PACs deciding whom to support. PAC money does not buy or rent elected officials. It supports the candidacy of people who are philosophically compatible with the givers philosophy of government.
Grassroots Citizen Legislative Advocacy. It really does work, but ordinary people don't know that. Citizens can be empowered by teaching them how to be advocates and then motivated to get involved in the process. Illinois Senator Everett Dirkson mixed his metaphors, but was correct, when he said "When the voters turn up the heat, we in Congress see the light."
Patriotism All my programs include good, old-fashioned apple pie patriotic themes. Audiences always responded enthusiastically to these themes and respond even more so after events of September 11, 2001.
Political Humor Take a look at the link to my Political Humor section for some of the humor I recently used. This changes, of course, as events change. It's important to note that I only tell jokes about decisions people made. For example, I can tell Bill Clinton jokes about pardons, trading the Lincoln Bedroom, Monica, etc. because they are all decisions he made. I never tell a joke about something that is not chosen such as gender, sexual orientation, race, creed, physical appearance, etc.
