No senator has had the impact on Congress and our country, and been a more popular voice among the American people, than Zell Miller. The reason is simple: Miller is cut from the same mold as Harry Truman, John Kennedy, and Henry Jackson. Miller puts America’s security before his party, he proudly supports his president during times of war, and he puts the well-being of hard working citizens above the partisan demands of leftwing special interest groups. A National Party No More is a perfect exposition of all the qualities that endear Zell Miller to the American people.

—Sean Hannity

Opposing lower taxes, favoring big government, weak on national defense and homeland security, wrong on capital punishment, abortion, and traditional family values, subservient to interest groups like the AFL-CIO and teachers’ unions, lifelong Democrat Georgia Senator Zell Miller makes a powerful election year case that the Democratic party has lost the South and is headed for extinction nationally. A National Party No More is a must-read.

—Lawrence Kudlow

For more than forty years, in every position he’s held, Zell Miller has exemplified the Marine Corps belief in Semper Fidelis. He is a true and proven American patriot who has the courage to tell the truth. This is a book Americans must read because it is a serious work that effectively outlines and defines American politics and culture as they exist today.

—Newt Gingrich

Zell Miller’s book, A National Party No More, is fascinating, provocative, and is a wake-up call for the Democratic Party, which Miller suggests has forgotten John F. Kennedy’s warning that “The Party which, in its drive for unity, discipline, and success ever decides to exclude new ideas, independent conduct, or insurgent members, is in danger.” Miller blasts interest groups and provides a scathing review of the current Democratic presidential hopefuls. And, he is unwavering in his support for pro-growth tax rate reductions and tax reform. For example, Miller emphatically asserts “There’s no one on Capitol Hill or in this country who likes tax cuts more than I do. . .Government takes too much from our taxpayers—big and little alike. Federal. . .state. . .local. . .taxes come at us from every direction. It’s like a never ending meteor shower.?  Miller’s candid and sincere assessment of his party and the issues should be taken seriously if Democrats hope for their party to become a governing party once again, as it was from President Roosevelt and Truman to Kennedy and Johnson.

—Jack Kemp

Had not Zell Miller declared he will never again run for public office, I might get him in serious trouble by calling him ?my kind of Democrat.? Actually, he is “my kind of American.” His memoir is a delightful, good-spirited account of a life of patriotism and public service without malice or mean partisanship. The Democratic Party would be well advised to take his sincere advice, but the certainty that they won’t only underlines Senator Miller’s concerns about his ancestral party.

—Robert Novak

This riveting book is a passionate attack on the values and priorities of liberal Democratic politicians by a conservative Democratic Senator from Georgia who has spent a lifetime in local, state, and national politics. It is filled with strong opinions and incisive observations and is a fascinating and unusually frank analysis of Democratic politicians in the modern Senate.

—Merle Black

The varied ingredients that make up Zell Miller—mountain man, Marine sergeant, college professor, historian, storyteller, baseball coach, book author, heavy lifter in government at every level from small town mayor to governor of Georgia and the U. S. Senate—make him unique in contemporary American politics, and arguably its purest voice. The Democratic Party, and the country, need to hear and heed. The book also stirs a thought that it’s too bad he isn’t running for the Big One. Since he isn’t, this book is the next best thing. Besides, it’s fun to read!
