These people wanted—and still want—to contribute to their country and make America better for their children and grandchildren. This is their story.”\u003cbr\u003e—Ross Perot, 1992\/1996 presidential candidate, businessman, and philanthropist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1992, America began a historic and unique political movement when Ross Perot, a down-to-earth, charismatic billionaire, threw his hat into the ring of presidential contenders. A member of the Reform Party, Perot was the voice for the average American, and he inspired millions of ordinary citizens to actively participate in their government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Perot Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e, political activist and Perot campaigner Pat Benjamin takes you inside Perot’s campaign and tells the story of an action movement that turned everyday folks into street fighters as they delved into the depths of dirty politics. Benjamin lays out the campaign’s successful infiltration of “politics as usual” and exposes the backroom deals, intimidation, stalkers, and death threats that dogged the campaign’s every step.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eThe Perot Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e provides more than a history of the Perot presidential bid. With sharp political sensibility, Benjamin addresses how to harness the growing frustration and disgust many Americans feel over politics today, and she explains how to learn from past mistakes to effectively put regular, real people back in control of the American government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBenjamin combines personal anecdotes, insider opinions, and sound political discourse to create a true testament to America’s unique democratic system. It’s time to put the power back in the people’s hands!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eAuthor’s Notes\u003cbr\u003ePrologue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 The Movement\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 The Campaign\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 United We Stand America—The Beginning\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 The Building of United We Stand America\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 The Mission and Issues of United We Stand America\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 The UWSA Dallas Conference: Preparing Our Country for the 21st Century\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 The Birth of the Reform Party\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 The 1996 Reform Party Primary\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 The 1996 Presidential Campaign and Election\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 Building the Reform Party\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 1998: The Win?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12 1999: Divisions Increase\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13 2000: Changing of the Guard\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14 2000: Changing of the Guard, Continued\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15 The People’s Court?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16 The People’s Movement Continues\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17 “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"Morgan James Publishing llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359735152983,"sku":"9781614484721","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781614484721.jpg?v=1754125551","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-perot-legacy-a-new-political-path-9781614484721","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
