Book Description
Top-rated radio personality Laura Ingraham is fed up with the rule of the elites, and POWER TO THE PEOPLE issues a call to arms-a plea to reinvigorate our birthright of liberty, to reconnect to our American heritage, to revive our commitment to traditional, conservative principles, and to grow as people by summoning our moral resolve and living our faith. Ingraham exposes the threats we face from an emboldened cultural Left, global dogmatists, science worshippers, and politicians who spend more time on their hair than on constituency outreach. She also offers real-world solutions for how we can demand more from our leaders and ourselves. POWER TO THE PEOPLE will not just rile up Ingraham's millions of fans, it will also incite readers to do their part to protect the country that we love. "It is ours to lose," she writes, "and there are many at home and abroad who are more than willing to take it from us. Let's get to work. If each of us does our part, we can't lose." And amidst these rallying cries and clarion calls to America, Ingraham reveals with heart wrenching honesty and in poignant detail her battle with cancer and the surprising gifts the insidious illness bestowed upon her - incredible strength through weakness, the meaning of sacrificial concern for others, and most importantly, a new-found and deeper faith. In true Laura Ingraham spitfire style, POWER TO THE PEOPLE rallies Americans to grab their pitchforks and storm the castles of the old media, over-reaching judges, openborders politicians, radical academics, and unelected bureaucrats. She challenges people to not only take back the power, but to also give of themselves to recapture America's spirit and greatness.

 Stay strong Laura July 26, 2008
God bless her. Thank goodness for intelligent people who can string three words together and make sense out of them. Add to that an extraordinarily high level of ethics requiring verifiable documentation, and what cha' got is a smart, very funny, well written, good book. "I'm not worthy" from Saturday Night comes to mind in writing this recommendation. This is a fine book.
 Great guide for taking back our power and country May 31, 2008

This book needs to be read every 3 to 6 months until the people understand what their duty as citizens entails. The free ride is over and is going nowhere. It's time for all citizens to become active in who governs them and Laura Ingraham lays out a very simple way for people to take back our power.
 power to the (rich, conservative) people May 26, 2008

blah, blah, blah. this blowhard is typical of the rightwing media talking head of the moment--uninformed about everything but prepared to talk as though she is an expert on everything.

I wish I could give this publication no stars. A relative sent this book to "enlighten" us. Thank goodness we didn't spend money on it. Ms. Ingraham seems to be another "talking head" promoting themselves and their divisive messages. It's frightening to think that people believe what they read in these biased and bigoted books. Ms. Ingraham recommends "spying and videotaping" American Muslim mosque services and activities, school board meetings, and any other groups who advocate "civil liberties" and ideas with which she doesn't agree. She also states that Americans should have freedom of speech and be able to express their disagreement with the government, but not in the case of the Iraq War because that may lead the terrorist enemies to believe all of America is not "united" in this war! Save your money and just turn on FOX news, you'll hear the same messages repeated all day.
Sometimes, the truth doesn't hurt... April 27, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Laura Ingraham has a way of getting people worked up - some think her words bluntly and brightly resonate truths that get little mass media credence, while others get their high-waisted panties in a visceral twist over what they view as just "more conservative blather."
If you're of the latter group, this book is wasted on you. No matter what, you'll hate it. It doesn't matter how well documented the facts presented are (and they are), and it won't make a bit of difference how logically they are presented.
Ingraham reflectively champions traditional families, stonger borders, and less cultural pollution, and she takes to task any person or institution (including prominent Republicans such as President Bush and Senator McCain) that undermines these intuitive necessities for a civil, healthy society.
In this way, Power to the People is not a political book in that it espouses a particular party line, but rather, it's a call to common sense that extends across party lines and recalls the positive ideals of a recent past that have been rejected simply because such a rejection of traditional values is viewed as more "politically correct" or "enlightened" or "popular" than the acceptance of them. These would be just some of the specious and shallow reasons many use as the basis for their core beliefs, and Ingraham has little patience for such.
Ingraham's bottom line: get really educated (not indoctrinated) on the issues that matter most, and then get involved in a meaningful way. It's a message that should hit home with most reasonable people.
