Laura Ingraham, one of America's great conservative talk show hosts, appeared in Rancho Cucamonga, CA today to sign her best selling book, POWER TO THE PEOPLE. The book is for activists who want to take back our culture.
It was great to meet with FReeper The Spirit Of Allegiance. He will tell his own part of the story.
The book cover and TV appearances don't do her justice. Laura is absolutely beautiful both inside and outside. She is a great spokesman for our side.
A large crowd gathered well over an hour before the scheduled signing. When the bus arrived, I went to the back of Borders and hoped to get some shots of her debusing (hey, there is deplaning......can't I say debusing?). Unfortunately, the local mall security guard made me move across the street. I was almost going to give him a "don't tase me, bro" line, but I knew I needed to be on my best behavior.
Laura was genuinely friendly and appreciative of all the support she has. She thanked each person for being there, told them to spread the word, and believes we really do have the power to take the culture back.
I was next to the last to get my book signed, and it was nice to hear Laura say that she remembered me. She knows and appreciates the FReepers. Instead of waiting in the very long line, I hung around where she was signing so I could get photos and hear what she was saying to people. Hillary will be pleased to know that Laura planned to watch the 42-minute roughcut of HILLARY UNCENSORED on the bus. Come on, Laura, let's get talking about it.

From Publishers Weekly
In her latest, radio personality and author Ingraham (Shut up and Sing) calls on the American people to take back the phrase "Power to the People" from the anti-establishment groups of yesterday that, today, have made the country, according to Ingraham, "a slave to fringe groups, political correctness, expanding bureaucracies, and our own consumerism." Taking an approach that makes mutually exclusive groups out of those "working and taking care of their families" and the "protest culture," Ingraham's message is loud and clear: "they're coming for you." Specifically, "they" means the Lifetime network (brainwashing women to "swear off men and family"), the growing ranks of "Team Atheist" (including Dan Brown), "family deconstructivists," illegal immigrants and Islamic jihadists, among others. Chapters cover most of today's hot button topics-the war in Iraq, homeland security, the judiciary, the news media and global warming-with attitude and conviction. Ingraham's commentary on the lack of education in our schools and the "pornification" of the culture contain her most sound, articulate arguments (bolstered by a wealth of statistics), but Ingraham's assembling tactics are overzealous; still, fans of her strident radio show should be pleased to find more of the same here.

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.
Beautiful Laura bump.
