"It's wonderful to finally have a release date," said co-author Gerard Droze. "We are so excited to see this project continue to progress from dream to reality."
Those who pre-ordered advance copies of "The Makings of a Man" could begin receiving their books within the next 7-10 days.
The book examines two important questions: 1. What does it take to truly be considered a man? 2. How do young males learn it? "The Makings of a Man" gives readers food for thought from three distinct perspectives.
In the midst of all the "noise" going back and forth on airwaves in the homestretch days of the campaign season, this is a refreshing political spot, regardless of your political leanings. No personal attacks. No stretched truths. No outright lies. (Though, I'm sure there are those who would disagree.) Just a message designed to make you think. I saw it for the first time on Saturday. By this morning, they were talking about it on network television shows, including CNBC's Squawk on the Street program.
The political watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste is responsible for the ad. According to its mission statement, CAGW claims to be "a private, non-partisan, non-profit organization representing more than one million members and supporters nationwide." However, that same mission statement lists no Democrats among those who sing the organization's praises. It does mention several historically prominent Republicans including former President Ronald Reagan, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and former House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Christopher Cox. Cox is quoted as saying, "CAGW has fought side-by-side with us for welfare reform and massive cuts in wasteful spending to shrink the size of government and the deficit," and he called CAGW "the premier waste-fighting organization in America."
