Ever since my mom asked me to make posters for George McGovern, I have been interested in politics.
And why not? We elect leaders to make this world better.
I have never missed the opportunity to vote. When I was living in New Hampshire, I met many candidates. My son, Elliot, discovered presidential trivia when he was about ten. It was because of him that Beyond Lucky’s Ari Fish counts presidents for luck!
As I wrote the book, Elliot collected lots of great quotes from all the presidents. The one thing they have in common: our greatest leaders extol honor and empathy for the plight of every day Americans. That’s a theme in the book, too.
It’s all about regular people who are heroes. 🙂
And heroes who are sometimes just regular people. 🙁
I’m going to start sharing some of the quotes on a regular basis. Right here. Until election day.
Do you have a favorite presidential quote or speech? Send it to me! I’d love to share it!
