Stand for Something

"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 whcih 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.

Courage is Contagious

Courage is Contagious is a remarkable book about everyday Americans helping to reshape America. John Kasich profiles some twenty individuals who, through their won courage, resolve and generous hearts, are working daily to improve the lives of their fellow neighbores and citizens. They are "Heroes for our time."

The sense of community and commitment they exhibit reflects the values we as a nation need to encourage ansupport if we are to end our contry's divisiveness and fulfill her promise. The stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to make a difference are without number - the people highlighted in the book are just a few of those john has personally come to meet an know.
