The State of The Republic
The State of the Republic is an overview of significant political, social, and economic events since the end of WWII, along with a look at the criminal justice system, that has led up to the quagmire of disorder witnessed daily among our political leaders in Washington.The American people are fraught with frustration and mistrust of our governmental leadership and children are growing up unsure of just what the nation's values are or what this country stands for the conclusions are: American leadership in the world has digressed in moral/ethical stature and responsibilities; the federal government, itself, has become so politically incestuous that the people have lost control; crime, violence, and disorder have become rampant and a housecleaning in Washington is long overdue.The author's experience as a juvenile probation officer and later as a school psychologist at the secondary level has given him a unique perspective, over the years, as a credible observer of the political leadership in our country and how it has influenced the morale and self-esteem of our people and, particularly, the youth of America. His baccalaureate degree in political science and history and his graduate degree in student personnel services contributes to his understanding of the implications of political leadership on the State of the Republic.

Vote Alison MEP
Alison is campaigning to become a Member of the European Parliament. Not her idea, of course. Alison is far too honest, legal, decent and truthful to consider such a low career move. No, Alison's campaign can only be the brainchild of a Manipulating Machiavelli of Mandlesonian proportions.Jady is Alison's campaign manager, plotting behind the schemes to get her elected by Euro hook or by Euro crook. This is partly because of his love for democracy - or so he tells anyone who asks - and partly because he knows that MEPs and EU officials have lifelong diplomatic immunity for any crimes they may commit while on EU business. Indeed, much to Jady's Ode to Joy, the fraud squad is not allowed to enter the offices of any MEP without permission. Jady sees EU diplomatic immunity as an essential asset for a businessman of his qualities.Police Inspector Brewe knows Jady of old, and the thought of her arch enemy lording it over her patch, the ancient Roman town of Spawater, untouchable due to Alison's diplomatic immunity, has her choking on her latte. She vows to arrest Alison's political career - and Jady's diplomatic immunity - before it starts. Leaking Jady's personal details to Inder Monnet and his assistant Spaak, his pro-European Union rivals, for blackmailing purposes is a useful start. Meanwhile Jady needs a hook. Something to raise Alison's campaign above that of an outside challenger. What better, he decides, than hoisting the European Union on its own petard by demanding democracy?With Jady pulling the strings, Alison demands a Peoples' Referendum. The people of Europe have never been asked if they want the European Union. It is about time they were. Alison campaigns for a Europe-wide Peoples' Referendum on whether to continue the march to a totalitarian United States of Europe, or disband the whole project. Kill or cure once and for all. The demand for a Peoples' Referendum catches on, boosted by Alison's transparent honesty, viral marketing and dirty tricks. Jady's candidate is riding high in the polls, but Inder is not beat yet. Jady isn't the only Mandleson in the running, and the European Union can stoop pretty low when it feels threatened. A referendum on its very existence is a huge threat indeed. Meanwhile, Alison shows she is not simply Jady's cipher. Loaded with principles up to the plimsoll line, how will she suffer the stench of European politics? Certainly not in silence.Add Joanna, Jady's EU supporting long-suffering partner, Jenna, forced onto the sobriety wagon and mad as Zeus about it, Hanif, torn between his belief in the EU and his desire for Alison, Young Arnie revelling in his role as illegal Blogger and website hacker, and Lifeboats' turf accountant Bullet laying off the electoral odds, politics has never been more dirty. Or more fun.

I’m the President, by Donald Thump
I'm the President, by Donald Thump was written by George A.M. Heroux, although it pretends to be written by a fictional President who has to deal with all the issues currently confronting the real President, Donald Trump. President Thump writes his book during the campaign and during part of his presidency.In this book, we get to know an American President who is outrageous in thought and action. He is totally over the top, as he confidently describes his business beginnings, his connection with Russia, his attitude on guns, his womanizing, and many other topics that demonstrate the mind of a dangerous President. But the book is not without humor, because Thump's actions are sometimes so ridiculous that readers can only be fascinated and amused.This is Donald Thump's tell-all, because his plan is to write the truth and publish it only after he leaves the presidency with a so-what attitude, returning to his billionaire life and his hideaways.Set primarily in the White House, the characters are somewhat based on real people or on very ridiculous people with interesting names. George A.M. Heroux is a lawyer, victim advocate, university instructor, and acclaimed author. He has a law degree from Albany Law School (Union University) and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University, but he is proudest of his efforts as a writer and playwright. He wrote the best-selling novel But for the Crash, a book on writing (Write Now! Let Your Writing Talents Emerge), a book for continuing education professionals (Continuing Professional Education - How), a book of short plays, and seven full-length plays that have been successfully staged, including one musical comedy, The Rev, and two plays that became movies.
