Turn This Car Around cover

Our nation has become one full of apologies and Politically Correct (PC) statements. It's time for the true right to make a political comeback. Former Governor Robert Ehrlich has written the roadmap - Turn This Car Around. He urges the American public to make a real change and address (with him) the issues of union strangleholds, Obamacare, a failed stimulus package, soaring energy costs and high unemployment, the race-card, the Living Wage war, bipartisanship and other heated topics. Ehrlich notes thatour education system is not meeting the needs of our children, race relations have been derailed and the family structure is crumbling. This needs to change. There is too much at stake for the country and our culture. Turn This Car Around is a call to action, and a blunt collection of dispatches from America's culture wars, retold by a former state legislator, congressman, and governor who fought on the front lines. Bob Ehrlich recounts the contentious battles he waged in the widely recognized liberal state of Maryland, and provides insightful suggestions to help resolve many of the issues in America.

"Bob Ehrlich is one of the smartest Republican politicians in the country. And he has a lot to tell us in Turn This Car Around. It's both a compelling memoir of his time as Republican governor of a Democratic state and a riveting collection of political lessons he's learned. His advice on dealing with the media is especially persuasive." --Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, The Weekly Standard "Governor Ehrlich has delivered a concise, well-written road map on behalf of America's common-sense majority. This book is required reading for those who strive to restore the economy, culture, and reputation of America to its former greatness. And--you won't find a finer foreword!" --Rudy Giuliani, "America's Mayor" and former Mayor of New York City (1994--2001) "Governor Ehrlich's frequent confrontations with special-interest groups in often hostile environments speak to his strength of character and strong leadership skills. This is a roadmap worth reading." --Gary Williams, Coach of the University of Maryland men's basketball team, 2002 NCAA Tournament Champions "Turn This Car Around offers a unique biographical and political perspective by a moderately conservative former governor of arguably the most liberal state in the union, Maryland. His accounts of riveting political battles, many of which he won despite the daunting political cards arrayed against him, is a tribute to Gov. Ehrlich's charisma, honesty, and political and rhetorical know-how." --Richard E. Vatz, Ph.D., Towson Distinguished Professor, Associate Psychology Editor, USA Today Magazine
