Independent Nation:
How Centrism Is Changing The Face Of American Politics
John P. Avlon
Thursday, July 8, 7:00 pm
Political writer and columnist John Avlon will speak about and sign copies of his new book Independent Nation. Avlon writes, "There is a moderate majority in this independent nation... As a battle rages between freedom and fundamentalism at home and abroad, America needs to hear the voice of the broad and vital center."
John Avlon, a columnist for the New York Sun, served as Chief Speechwriter and Deputy Communications Director for Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. He is the president of Prides Crossing Executive Communication and worked on President Clinton's 1996 presidential campaign.
