WHY MOMMY IS A DEMOCRAT
A different kind of children's book.
Why Mommy is a Democrat brings to life the core values of the Democratic party in ways that young children will easily understand and thoroughly enjoy. Using plain and non-judgmental language, along with warm and whimsical illustrations, this colorful 28-page paperback depicts the Democratic principles of fairness, tolerance, peace, and concern for the well-being of others. It's a great way for parents to gently communicate their commitment to these principles and explain their support for the party.
Why Mommy is a Democrat may look like a traditional children's book, but it definitely isn't just for children. With numerous subtle (and not-so-subtle) satirical swipes at the Bush administration and the Republican party,Why Mommy will appeal to Democrats of all ages!
Finally, a portion of the profits will be donated to Democratic candidates and party organizations, so your purchase will help make an immediate difference!
Sample Pages:

About the author:
A lifelong Democrat and political activist, I have been teaching and writing about American politics for over a decade. Although Why Mommy is a Democrat is my first children's book, I've previously authored and coauthored numerous political essays and the book Racialized Coverage of Congress: The News in Black and White.
After hearing for years that I should consider writing children's books, I finally decided to give it a try. But I didn't want to write a typical children's story; instead, I set out to write a book that would help parents communicate important political values to their children and offer an underlying theme of political satire for adults. The result, Why Mommy is a Democrat, reflects my passion for progressive politics, my sense of humor, and my academic training in fields such as political psychology and socialization.
Operating on a shoestring budget, I was extremely fortunate to find a gifted and experienced local artist, Yuliya Firsova, who agreed to illustrate the book. Yuliya did a truly marvelous job of bringing my ideas (and some of her own) to life. Thanks to her, the final product exceeds my wildest expectations.
Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I received a B.A. from Oberlin College and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University. I currently live in Madison, Wisconsin, with my partner Julia, her daughter Isabella (age six), and our cat Zachary -- all lifelong Democrats.
Democrat mommies think Michael Moore is a real man.
Someone's gotta come up with a list like the "you know you're a redneck when..." for the Dems. We've got a lot of creative and talented Freepers - give it a shot.
No, it probably means there is no "daddy" around.
Democrats will make sure we can kill our offspring, just like Mommy does. *erk*
Democrats will make sure that criminals can steal, kill, and rape in safety, just like Mommy does.
It's real. Follow the link.
In that group, I'd put my money on the cat.
Mommy got you from a squirt gun, honey!
Not a man in the bunch, I'd guess.
Mommy is a Democrat because he's too stupid to be a Republican.
I wish I hadn't been sentenced to school for having committed the crime of being born.
The Prussian mind, which carried the day, held a clear idea of what centralized schooling should deliver: 1) Obedient soldiers to the army; 2) Obedient workers for mines, factories, and farms; 3) Well-subordinated civil servants, trained in their function; 4) Well-subordinated clerks for industry; 5) Citizens who thought alike on most issues; 6) National uniformity in thought, word, and deed.Thanks, dumbocrats!
Democrats like mommies killing babies until we get a keeper.
Democrats like you having sex as soon as possible.
Democrats like to take lots of your money.
Democrats like no God, anywhere, ever.
Democrats give you condoms and abortions.
Democrats like you to be queer.
Democrats like Marxism.
Democrats like you to be lazy and ignorant.
Democrats never say it's your fault.
So good, it's worth repeating.

Something more suited to the author's ability.Of course,having been a democrat all her life,children's books are nothing new for her,what with the limited attention span and difficulty in grasping onto abstract concepts.Does anyone need any further proof that the democrats represent the nanny state?
hey THANKS!
holy brainwashing batman!
