With jackhammer force and candor, Governor Ventura issues an urgent wake-up call to America — a resounding indictment of our creeping national cynicism, and how our political system rewards mediocrity while turning a blind eyes to accountability.

In Do I STANDALONE? Ventura decries the ease with which most Americans surrender their freedoms and apathetically accept a system of governance driven even more by pork and patronage than by the very best interests from the constituency. He also denounces an about SHOULD I Stand Alone?: Going to the Mat Against Politics Pawns and Press Jackals irresponsible mass media, taking these to task for all too often complicated fame with notoriety, as well as for driving the news headlines instead of just reporting it. And he unabashedly speaks from today’s hot-button problems, including welfare, racism, abortion, advertising campaign financing reform, and gay rights.

Giving us fascinating insights in to the potential of independent celebrations, Governor Ventura ushers us deep in to the polished corridors of power, exposing the best — and worst — of our current crop of political personalities while laying out a workable strategy for bringing our political system — and its politicians — back again to greatness.

In a forthright, razor-sharp, and interesting critique, Governor Jesse Ventura has once again thrown down the gauntlet — challenging today’s politicians as well as a disenchanted general public to transcend the tired rhetoric and defiantly reclaim the independence and opportunity that’s our American birthright.
