About the Author: Dennis Martin Altman

Dennis Martin Altman is an Associate Professor at the University of Kentucky, where he teaches Strategic Communication and Ethics in the School of Journalism and Telecommunications. While living in America's Bible belt, he became been painfully aware of how hard-working rural Southerners habitually vote against their own best interests. This "Red States" part of the country regularly elects conservative politicians who do their best to keep wages down and cut government appropriations for what the locals need most; more assistance in education and health care. The author is no stranger to the political scene. During the election year of 1976, he was a media advisor to President Gerald R. Ford. After Richard Nixon's disgrace and resignation, a Ford victory held hope for a chance to re-shape the Republican Party. Altman grabbed it with both hands. That gave him a good look at the inside workings of the Republican mindset, and he's been a Liberal ever since.
