Thurman Hart says that the reason he writes is to show that "a Christian Liberal is not an oxymoron." He holds a Master's Degree in Political Science from the University of Central Florida and specializes in Public Policy (energy and taxation) and American Politics (electoral politics and the use of rhetoric). He teaches Political Science at the New Jersey City University. He writes regularly for the NJ Voices feature at the Newark Star-Ledger and contributes to New Jersey's the leading state and local politics blog, Blue Jersey. He also maintains his own blog at Xpatriated Texan and has been active in building an online presence for people of good faith and progressive politics. With Rachel Barrenblat of Velveteen Rabbi, he organized and hosted the first Progressive Faith BlogCon. In the past, he has contributed to The American Prospect's Midterm Madness election updates as well as longer essays concerning the misuse of federal attorney subpoena power and efforts to end the privatization of the IRS.

"Rob Kall's Bottom Up is a revaluation of values, not the empty mouthing of the word 'democracy' that is so common, but the application of belief in popular wisdom to every aspect of life. Actually believing that the views of more people is better, means a new way of thinking about the world that is democratic, feminist, localist, populist, and radically richer than the elitist perspectives that are more common even in the parts of the world that shout the word 'democracy' the most. Here we come to understand both the power of small groups and the upsides to internet crowd sourcing, the potential of nonviolent movements and ways in which the past has not been what we supposed. Don't just read this book; get lots of people to read and talk about it."

David Swanson, host, Talk Nation Radio, author of War No More: The Case for Abolition.
