Plain talk columnist Gerard Valentino launches his first book.

Author's core message can mean smaller government.

Columnist Gerard Valentino's plain talk essays simplify topics Americans might like to consider before the 2010 election. And before every election.

Picked up by mainstream news websites such as World Net Daily, CNS News, Human Events, Frontpagemag.com, SWAT magazine and more, Valentino’s core message in every article is how more Americans are so ultimately and inevitably on their own... and loving it.

Preferring to be on your own can short-circuit a great many resentful policies out of bigger government, points out his publisher, Contrast Media Press.

Americans can be disappointed greatly when they rely on big government to be parent and other substitutes for the citizen, and the realization that one is on his own no matter what government promises can mean foregoing the scenic route of liberties and dollars by way of Washington. This sense of abandonment for some can be turned into Independence from the git-go for families.

"Being on your own brings a dignity that unifies people no matter what their politics," says Valentino. "It clears the decks of what government ought to do and not do, and when we see what it cannot do, citizen can really begin to talk in our nation of self-rule."

This is the core of Gerard’s book The Valentino Chronicles, Observations of a middle-class conservative, also the substance of his speaking engagements.
