John Kasich is a popular Fox News Channel commentator and frequent guest-host for the "O'Reilly Factor." John’s ability to communicate powerfully and effectively means he is in high demand to speak to national organizations and corporations throughout the country. Audiences from Coca-Cola Enterprises to General Motors to the American Medical Association have heard John’s charge that the key to making America better does not lie in legislating solutions to our problems but in changing hearts and being a part of a team to raise standards in America and raise the bar for our neighbors.
As a former 9-term Congressman, Chairman of the House Budget Committee and negotiator of an agreement between Congress and the Clinton White House for the 1st balanced Budge in 30 years, John knows a little something about the workings of our government. And he has strong beliefs about how the government helps and when it hurts.
John Kasich believes in leaving a better America to the next generation, and whether you hear him speak, read his books, catch him on Fox News or peruse this Web site, you are sure to be challenged, intrigued and, yes, maybe even entertained. |

From the Columbus Dispatch:
Then I recalled a moment from the Clermont County GOP dinner when all heads seemingly bobbed in unison — yes, yes, yes — as the guest speaker, former U.S. Rep. John Kasich of Westerville, said:
"I look at it today, and I don’t even recognize politics any more. It’s all about name-calling. It’s all about winning elections at all costs. Whether you abandon your principles or not, it doesn’t matter. It’s all about, ‘I got re-elected.’ Re-elected to do what?
"Now in politics today, it’s not enough to just defeat your opponent in an election. You’ve got to figure out how to destroy him, how to bring negativity not just on him, but on his children and his spouse. How do you think we’re ever going to get any good people to want to be public servants if from the minute you step into the line of fire until the minute you step out, they shoot you down? We can’t afford this any more."

From the Journal and Courier
Kasich said the crimes committed by executives at Enron and WorldCom were indeed deplorable. At the same time, he worries the complex remedy devised by lawmakers -- contained in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act -- may stifle American business.
"How many Sarbanes-Oxley laws do they have in China?" he said. "Why do we make ourselves less competitive than the rest of the world when we are at a disadvantage in many areas -- in particular in labor costs?"
While he noted that some famous people do seem to gain from crime, much of Kasich's talk was about how society cannot long survive without virtue. American prosperity will erode if the values of honesty, humility and personal responsibility are neglected he said.

I don't know about you, but I'm troubled by a lot of what I see and hear in America's heartland...
John Kasich calls it like he sees it. A former nine-term congressman, a respected author and popular television host, Kasich has been around the neighborhood a few times. In his first book, the New York Times best-seller Courage is Contagious, he celebrated the under-the-radar accomplishments of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to change America. Now, in STAND FOR SOMETHING, he tackles -- head on -- the erosion of the long-standing, hard-earned values upon which our nation is built. John Kasich's book is a rallying cry for all Americans that will make us think -- and, most important, make us get off our easy chairs and STAND FOR SOMETHING. |
