REP. TERRI MCCORMICK’S BOOK ON POLITICS AWARDED ‘EDITOR’S CHOICE AWARD.’

What Sex Is a Republican? Stories from the Front Lines of
American Politics, and How You can change the way things are

Former Rep. Terri McCormick was awarded the prestigious iUniverse ‘Editor’s Choice’ Award June 8, 2009 for her soon to be released book about politics, corruption and how ‘we as a people’ must change the way things are.

“I am both honored and humbled to receive this distinction. My focus in writing this book was to be as accurate and honest as possible.  I wanted people to better understand the challenges and opportunities in our current political system,” Rep. McCormick said.

What Sex is a Republican? takes a look at the political game from behind the curtain with one intention: to call on each of us to serve in local, state and federal government.  The book will be released in August and be available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

The Editor’s Choice program recognizes titles that have the essential qualities of professionally published books after a positive traditional publishing editorial evaluation. Genre specific editors are used for the Editor’s Choice recognition. Editor’s Choice selections receive an editor’s choice designation on the back cover. It is also a recommended title with a preferred marketing placement.
Reader’s Comments

Terri brings us inside the political world and exposes us to the ugly side of party politics. From sexism to bribery, the book shows politicians behaving badly as the norm, not the exception we’ve always hoped. Terri inspires all of us to reject politics as usual and to become leaders who fight for change, not those who blindly follow the status quo. This book should be required reading in all political science classrooms.

Terri writes from the heart. Her accounts of corruption in politics come with lessons on how we as a society can affect change and create a better government. As one who tried to change things from inside the chambers, she is exactly the person to deliver the message to the masses – government “business as usual” is unacceptable, and we can create the change necessary to bring our politics back in line with what our forefathers envisioned.

“In ‘What Sex is a Republican?’ Terri describes her experiences in very human terms, but she doesn’t leave it there. Politics isn’t a soap opera, after all; it is the legacy of our forefathers and the promise of our future. While she wrenches the moral gut with her description of the poisoned process, she holds her lens far enough from the crime scene to show us the vulnerability of those in control. Ultimately – obviously, appropriately – it is we the people who can fix these problems”
