The Bright Side

Our guest is author Alan L. Moss who discusses his second book, "Selling-Out America’s Democracy: How Lobbyists, Special Interests, and Campaign Financing Undermine the Will of the People." "Selling-Out America’s Democracy explains how the forces of special interests, their moneyed lobbyists, and the U.S. system of campaign financing work together to weaken political leadership, distort policy, and betray the legitimate concerns of the American people. It is Alan's astute observation, backed by hard facts to support his thesis, that the process of determining national priorities has been undeniably corrupted and have led this once great nation into a spiraling period of economic decline. The book includes telling interviews of Washington insiders and a four-part plan to restore the U.S. democracy. Alan also recommends innovative policies to limit the clout of special interests and restore our democracy and economic power in the world today.
