Brian Boeheim - "Political Common Sense for America" cites recent news on U.S. Senator Harry Reid as a perfect example. More time and effort in Reed’s campaign is dedicated to building a $25 million dollar war chest to defeat his opponent in his upcoming race to
re-election in November 2010. What kind of influence and power is exchanged for monetary donations in this transaction? What ever happened to best man for the job? The average person, no matter how intelligent and qualified he may be, simply cannot afford to run for office. The numbers don’t lie: average campaign cost for a House or Senate seat weighs in at $4 million. Why, one may ask, does it cost so much to secure a job that only pays $174,000 a year?
Brian J. Boeheim was born in Buffalo, N.Y. and grew up right into the worst recession of the last century. His family is blue collar, hard working, and as middle class as they come. He's worked since he was 14 years old doing everything from mucking stalls and picking corn, to hauling drywall. He came out of college to the worst unemployment since the Great Depression and yet made the jump into the computer industry. Brian found success in the technology industry; first in sales and technical support, and later in management and consulting. He has trained and presented to audiences on 4 continents, and worked with Fortune 100 Executives to develop and implement strategic plans that have saved their companies millions of dollars.Brian is known for his unique ability to solve complex business problems by quickly uncovering the root cause. He has applied this skill to the science of public speaking with his book Stop Presenting! Start Succeeding and now again in his quest to solve the political quagmire we Americans find ourselves in today.
