Midwest Book Review
Newt Gingrich: Capitol Crimes And Misdemeanors is the most comprehensive compilation of Gingrich's controversial (and possibly illegal) activities today. The use of nonprofit organizations for political purposes banned by House Rules and federal law, violations of Federal Election Commission rules, and the rather blatant influence peddling all combine to demonstrate that the man who is credited with having brought down the Democrat Speaker of the House, is himself vulnerable to similar treatment. From engineering tort reform that ends consumer rights, to gutting labor laws, scaling back EPA regulations, and escalating attacks on civil liberties, Gingrich is conducting what might accurately be described as a political campaign for corporation influence. John Wilson's expose of one of today's most powerful political figures is "must reading" for anyone with an interest in contemporary national politics.
