The Land of Flickering Lights
(eBook)
In The Land of Flickering Lights, Senator Michael Bennet lifts a veil on the inner workings of Congressional politics to reveal, in his words, "a series of actual stories-about the people, the politics, the motives, the money, the hypocrisy..." each of which demonstrates "the pathological culture of the capital and the consequences for us all." Bennet unfolds the dramatic backstories behind the highly politicized confirmation battles over judicial nominations at all levels, the passage of the Trump tax law, the shredding of the Iran nuclear deal, the pervasive corruption unleashed by the influence of "dark money", and the sabotage by a congressional minority of the "Gang of Eight's" bi-partisan deal to reform America's immigration policies. With frankness and refreshing candor, Bennet pulls the machinations behind these episodes into full public view, shedding vital new light on today's political dysfunction. Arguing that each of us has a duty to act as a founder, he calls on Americans of all political persuasions to demand that the "winners" of our political battles be all the American people, nor one party or the other.
