Turning Point

Publisher: SelectBooks

Each political cycle, candidates vying for public office warn that the upcoming election is the most important event of the millennium.  For many whose names appear on a ballot, the statement is at least partially accurate:  their political future rides on the outcome.  The rest of us take such forebodings with a grain of salt.  After all, how much damage can a single candidate (even a president) inflict given our time tested system of checks and balances? 

Turning Point makes the case for “plenty”; Barack Obama’s transformative agenda has indeed remade America – to the detriment of our economy and culture. 

In his third book, Governor Robert L. Ehrlich details the considerable damage inflicted to date, while analyzing how progressive policy has made America a far more insecure and weaker country. 

Culled from published opinion pieces authored by the Governor  over the last eight years, Turning Point is a concise, articulate indictment of Western European style progressivism brought to America by its most charismatic (and dangerous) salesman. 

The presidential election of 2016 is a pivotal one.  As such, Ehrlich asks whether Obama’s agenda is indeed America’s future.  In other words, has the cumulative impact of progressivism reached the point of no return – or – will the next election cycle be a turning point for the return of common sense conservatism?

Those of you who subscribe to the former point of view will appreciate Turning Point’s conclusions, if not the accompanying analysis, while readers belonging to the loyal opposition will find plenty of material to keep them up at night.  Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you may identify with, however, all will find Governor Ehrlich’s new book an enlightening, if not entertaining read.  Enjoy…

He is an advocate for Maryland’s world renowned technology economy, enacting policies that positioned Maryland as a national leader in education, biotechnology, health care, and minority business advancement. He made record investments in public schools and authored Maryland’s first public charter schools law, enabling more than 7,000 students to attend 30 new public charter schools. He doubled funding for need-based college scholarships, helping college enrollment reach an all-time high.

Governor Ehrlich earned national commendation for empowering individuals with disabilities. He created the nation’s first cabinet-level department of disabilities, for which he earned the “Highest Recognition Award” from the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, among other awards.
Prior to serving as governor, Congressman Ehrlich won four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. In Congress, he served as a member of the House majority whip team, wherein he helped pass comprehensive tax relief, greater access to health care, federal education reform, and the first balanced budget in a generation.
