Now They Are In Clinton's Cabinet

Thanks to Mr. Choate the reader can learn how some American citizens at even the highest levels of government have profited from a system of influence peddling that has become informally institutionalized by particular professionals without concern for America and Americans. The reader will be horrified. The reader will become disgusted. But, the reader will be informed and a citizen's judgement is only as good as their information. This thoroughly documented information is based on the public records of the time. How about an update, Mr. Choate?

Great Book - Exposes Some Incredible Truths

Dr. Choate steps outside the limits of the "entrenched" media and reports on many areas of foreign influence in our government. Great reading for anyone wanting to know how our government REALLY works.

Institutionalized corruption in America's political system

A onetime Vice Presidential Candidate of Ross Perot's, political expert and Washington insider Pat Choate exposes the roots of political corruption endemic in America's highest elected offices. Mr. Choate tries to shock us awake with examples of how American interests are being quashed by paid lobbyists working for foreign entities who repeatedly beat us by our own rules of political accessibility. The style is typically dry, but the subject matter is truly horrifying. You won't believe how our highest government officials are selling us out.
