Produktbeschreibung
As a lawyer admitted to the Supreme Court bar, Lynn litigated and debated. As a clergyperson in the United Church of Christ, empathy and a passion for correcting injustice and inequality pulled him to make sure all groups, including Wiccans, were treated equally. Along the way, he cultivated relationships with musicians, and television, radio, and print celebrities and writes about them and about members of Congress with blunt honesty and wit. Through this volume readers watch a young boy from Bethlehem, PA, polish his debate skills and repartee to take on the giants in the nation's capitol and prevail on many critical issues from the 1970s through 2016. Always he was guided by his passion for the First Amendment and his respect for diversity, in his advocacy on TV, talk radio, his podcast CultureShocks, and with policy makers in Congress and the executive branch. His memoir is laugh-out-loud funny, daring, and full of American political history. It will amuse and instruct.

Autorenporträt
Barry W. Lynn caused lots of good trouble. He worked in Washington from 1974 to 2017-first for the United Church of Christ (UCC), helping gain amnesty for Vietnam war resisters; then for the ACLU, defending the First Amendment and destroying the Meese Pornography Commission; and for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, doing battle with every Religious Right leader aiming to have government adopt their agendas. Lynn is an ordained minister in the UCC and a lawyer with membership in the Supreme Court Bar.
