A Book Event
How did America go from having the strongest economy in the world to facing our most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression? How did the Bush Administration squander the political capital that Goldwater-Reagan conservatives took more than three decades to build? What became of an American culture that once was guided by the principles of Christianity? In Bringing America Home , Tom Pauken not only explains how we lost our way, but also shows how our founding principles can help us find our way back.
A native Texan, veteran of the Nixon and Reagan Administrations, and former State Chairman of the Texas Republican Party, Tom Pauken is the author of The Thirty Years War: The Politics of the Sixties Generation . He holds a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University and a law degree from Southern Methodist University. Currently, he serves as Chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission.
Tom has been my friend since the 1970 when I taught at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. He promised to "discuss the need for an alliance with the Russians." I cannot be there as I'm visiting Russia to promote better relations. So please come in and cheer Tom on.
Last time I congratulated you on US Independence Day and discussed the need for Russia to define its national identity by, among other things, rediscoving the "democratic" legacy of Grand Duke Mikhail Aleksandrovich whom some historians regard as the last Russian tsar Michael II.
