about the book Run chronicles a wildly improbable 2008 run for the White House by Noa Kalakaua, a 35-year-old award-winning economist turned TV talk show host seeking to reform Congress. Though the book was published in the 2008 election cycle, it has actually become more relevant thanks to the prescience of predicitions made by Noa Kalakaua is his campaign and the continued poor performance of Congress. If you're interested in just what Kalakaua predicted, you can begin reading a sample now. Run is narrated entirely through a series of third person media accounts from publications like the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Wall Street Journal, and even a handful of celebrity blogs. The Real Clear Politics Congressional Job Approval Poll has, for the last year, indicated that roughly three quarters of this bitterly divided country agrees that Congress is doing a lousy job (as of December, 2011, the number is actually 82.5%). Despite that, there has been no meaningful reform of Congress, in large part because the American people simply don't think it's possible. Run is a book about reforming Congress, albeit an entertaining one. G.R. Kearney has chosen to self publish the book so that he keep the prices low enough to attract large numbers of readers. He hopes that millions of people will read the book and demand change in the form of COngressional term limits or wholesale campaign finance reform. Print versions of the book are currently for sale for $9.99 and E-books are for sale for $2.99. Buy a copy now.
jacket copy He has no money. He's never held elected office and he'll turn 35 just days before the election. No one knows him. He's a member of neither the Republican nor Democratic party and he knows no independent candidate has ever come close to contending for the White House. Despite this, Noa Kalakaua knows he must run.
He must run because the country is hurtling toward economic disaster that could see tens of millions Americans living in abject poverty. Because the two-party system is broken. Because the career politicians in Congress routinely put their interests--getting reelected--ahead of the interests of the people and the nation. Because this sort of corruption can destroy economies. And democracies. And dreams. And generations. He must run because he knows real change is impossible until the American people demand it from their politicians. He must run because--though many say he's crazy--he knows he can save this country.
