Customer Reviews

A clear and present hope....

It is silly to attempt to change a person's political views by reviewing a book but the earlier reviewer seems to want to throw negative punches. The book shows a man's hope and dreams for his country and of course it is political. It is clearly written and outlines some sound ideas. Those who oppose Kerry will mock it but undecided and Democratic voters will gain more insight about the man and his focus. The book serves its intended purpose well. Scotty

Honor, Integerity, and Service = John Kerry

John Kerry will bring honor and integrity back to the White House. He is a man of courage and will be a President for all Americans. George W. Bush is a failure and he has jeopardized this nation's future. We need John Kerry to get us back on course. This book is a great introduction to what John Kerry stands for as a man and what he will do when he becomes President.

A Portrait of Ideas and Courage

For those of you who don't already know John Kerry, this is a great way to learn what makes him tick and what he finds important. Unlike the sound bites we usually hear in the media, this book actually details Kerry's well-thought out and progressive solutions to many of Americas's problems. The topics range from foreign policy and domestic issues to the environment and veteran affairs. You'll walk away from this book with a much clearer sense of the man and his vision for our country, as well as a profound respect for this dedicated and courageous public servant. I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to make an informed decision about a presidential candidate.

Senator John Kerry's A Call to Service

This book will not only help you to get to know Senator John Kerry, it will make you feel good again about America! It is serious stuff, but it is not technical, tedious reading. There are quotes from heavy weights in the history of our country like Abraham Lincoln, yet in no way did I feel like I was reading a history book. I am buying ten more copies to give as gifts.

This man WILL be President

Reading "A Call to Service" is like seeing a roadmap out of the mess this country is in. Sen. Kerry outlines exactly where we need to go and exactly how we're going to get there. His solutions to the country's problems are extensive and thoroughly reasoned - the product of a mind totally prepared to lead with passion and brilliance. In the book, John Kerry lets us into his personal life and we see the impact his passion for justice and equality has had on his 20-year struggle in the US Senate. This is they guy with the combination of domestic and foreign policy experience, vision, intelligence and legislative know-how that we desperately need at the highest level of government.
