Product Description:
Half of all illegal immigrants came into this country legally--and we have no way of knowing they're still here!
Congressmen are putting their wives on their campaign payrolls--so that campaign contributions are really personal bribes!
The ACLU won't allow its own directors free speech.
Liberals want to strip us of the tools to stop terrorism.
The UN is a cover for massive corruption--and eighty countries, who pay 12 percent of the budget, are blocking reform.
Drug companies pay off doctors to write scripts--whether we need them or not.
Teachers unions block the firing of bad teachers--and battle against higher education standards!
Katrina victims are being stiffed by their insurance companies!
Special interests cost our consumers $45 billion--through trade quotas that save only a handful of jobs!
Never heard of these abuses? You won't in the mainstream media. That's why Dick Morris and Eileen McGann wrote Outrage. Their proposals:
- Ban immigration from terrorist countries
- Ban Congress putting spouses on their payroll
- Ban lobbyists who are related to senators or congressmen
- Ban nicotine additives to cigarettes
- Ban trade quotas that drive up prices and save few jobs
- Ban drug company bribes to doctors
- Ban teachers unions' work rules that stop education reform
- Ban insurance companies from backing out on Katrina coverage
In Outrage, you'll get the facts--and learn what we can do about them. You won't read about these outrages anyplace else; too many people are working hard to cover them up. Get them here instead--and learn how to fight the special interests of the left and right.

this author knows his principles.
and it is refreshing to see someone speak on the bovine dung that we call a government.
the same friend allowed me to borrow this tome as well.
after reading it I suggested a violent action to bring down the government
and to replace it with a community where all had a duty that contributed to the whole. and all were equal and there was no heirarchy.
again, I cannot say whether or not every tidbit is factual, having not worked in the inner circles of the political machine myself, but from information I have researched and have been introduced to, this book seems on point.

If you follow Politics and Current Affairs,and more importantly if you watch Fox News,you are familiar with Dick Morris. Dick published this book a year ago and since that time he has published another blockbuster "Fleeced".
Dick knows Politics as well as anyone else around;and he tells it like it is.Even Bill O'Reilly stops and listens to Dick, even when he disagrees with him.
In this book, Dick addresses many of the "Outrages" that are being bantered around these days, as the Federal Election is in full swing.
Last evening ,O'Reilly was ranting,along with many others,that nobody,either elected politicians,those charged with the responsiblity to oversee the financial markets,or the financial institutions themselves ;warned of the financial mess we were heading into.
Well,O'Reilly was wrong,Morris,for one, warned us in spades, and it's all spelled out in this book in chapter 4,The 2006 Congress,chapter 8,Fannie Mae,and chapter 9 ,The Bankruptcy Bill.
There is an old ,but wise adage,that has never been more true than today;
"Never let the dog watch your food and never let the Government watch
your money."
If you really want to know what the real truth behind many of the issues,or as Morris calls them "OUTRAGES",read what he has to say on:
Illegal Immigration
United Nations
Congressional Ripoffs
Student Loan Overcharges
Tobacco ... Read More

I have not finished this book yet but it is one I feel everyone should read before they vote in the November elections. I want to say---------WAKE UP AMERICANS----the lobbyist and special interest groups are in control of Congress and the laws that are made. Both parties are equally at fault over the lobbyist problem and earmarks inserted in bills. The economy will always have problems when our politicians make promises and vote to enhance their own power and wealth instead of voting for what is best for the majority of citizens in this country.

'Outrage' outlines a wide range of horrible conduct by Congress, corporations, and others.
Dick Morris reveals treachery and incompetence by Congress (both Republicans and Democrats), the president, the United Nations, pharamaceutical companies, the teachers' unions, Fannie Mae, the news media, and others. In addition to pointing out the problems, he offers some solutions.
Some of the most revealing sections include the following:
Congress - The evils catalogued in this section are numerous and perpetrated by both parties. Some of the issues are corruption (selling votes for campaign contributions), automatic pay raises, inappropriate relationships (financial) with lobbyists, and more. He names names and several are very prominent including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, and many more. One of the outrages is the way that leaders of both parties circled the wagons to prevent an FBI investigation of bribery by a member of 'the club' (William Jefferson, D-LA).
Illegal immigration is another outrage. Our inept federal government has no tracking of those who leave the country so there is no way to tell who has overstayed visa times. How pathetic is that! Another issue is that many visas are issued when they should not be (as in the case of 15 out of 19 of the 9/11 terrorists).
There are many more of these abuses. Some of those exposed include: student loans, tobacco companies, ... Read More

The book makes good and valid points, however much of it is filled with statistics, graphs, and long lists not many would be willing to wade through. It is very simply written, easy to read, but unfortunately mixes fact with opinion. The annoying "action agendas" at the end of each chapter were seriously annoying just because they are all the same and involve nothing more than common sense exhortations. Really not much I did not know already in here, and I probably would not buy another Morris book, although I'll watch him on Hannity and Bill O.
