"This is seriously twisted and way too sophisticated for most people..... I think it should be read by ALL and called, (drum roll)..... A Florida Grass Root Philosophy and Punditry Guide" -David Bradford, EdD Did you ever wonder how our federal government got into such a mess? Mr. Groome has shown how we got to where we are by painting a vivid picture of small town politics. At every level and more often than not, people get elected for the wrong reasons. More importantly they seek office for all the wrong reasons. And tragically, the electorate is comfortable with the status quo and rarely interested in expending the energy to find the truth.

When you read it, you may find yourself associating his characters with people you know.
