Trade Review"We Americans have enough in common to allow us to come together on the things that matter, and Schwarz lays out a clear plan for doing so." -- Mickey Edwards, former Republican congressman from Oklahoma, vice president of the Aspen Institute, and author of The Parties Versus the People
"
Common Credo delivers a compelling argument that, despite our perceived ideological differences, Americans are essentially united in our values and aspirations. Rediscovering our Founders’ true intentions, John Schwarz illuminates for all of us in Congress a path toward common-ground solutions to our nation’s problems." -- Representative Ron Barber, Democratic congressman from Arizona
"
Common Credo reminds me of the end of
The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy realizes ‘There’s no place like home.’ As John Schwarz shows in this work of eminent common sense, all of the partisan twisters wrecking public life can be overcome if we find our way home to the moral precepts on which the country was founded." -- Jonathan Alter, lead columnist for Bloomberg View, former senior editor at Newsweek, and author of The Center Holds
"
Common Credo: The Path Back to American Success … is a pick for any collection strong in American principles and heritage. It's a blend of philosophy, political and social analysis that considers the history and evolution of these principles, how issues of accountability and divisions have come to affect American politics, and how basic values surrounding freedoms are being re-defined. From false ideas of freedom to real solutions to modern dilemmas, this is especially recommended as material for classroom discussion and debate." -- Midwest Book Review
