Just finished reading Autocracy, Inc in my Oxford, Maryland book group. Thank you for keeping us clear-headed, frightening as it is!

Margaret, thank you for mentioning reading Autocracy in your book group. It seems very fitting for our Book group as well. Although we avoid political discussion, we do focus on prize winning authors and their books. I will read it first and then share with our leader.

Scott, I have a story from the Indianapolis Star about misappropriation of Medicaid funds to nursing homes owned by Indiana hospitals. My friend, who has worked on this case for years, would like to get it in the hands of a national news organization. Any suggestions?

Scott, Great interview. Very powerful and insightful. I feel a little stronger or course you know I will never stop fighting. The more people learn and share the less fear we will have.

We are America and we can defeat evil. Generations before have faced evil, but not from within our Government. I will keep saying what I have been saying since, and before the election. Trump needs to go.

Please keep doing what you doing. Information and knowledge are power. Onward!

Anne is one of my favorite authors and superb defender of human rights. She calls out the despots without mercy, since she has studied them and what makes them tick to their core. Many thanks, Scott, to you and Anne for airing this great interview.
