Jeffrey Paul              Author

Inside Politics in America: A View From the Outside

This thought-provoking, yet entertaining, collection of letters, commentaries and issue updates came about by accident.  Paul has written over 250 Letters to the Editor with over 50 being published in the Albuquerque Journal, Denver Post, USA Today, Detroit Jewish News, Wahington Post, ESPN Magazine, University of New Mexico Daily Lobo, and others. In early 2008, Paul's wife suggested that he compile copies of his letters in a folder to leave for their children.  Her idea grew into this exciting, one-of-a-kind book.  Now his ideas, observations, thoughts, unique perspectives and insights into all things political can be shared not only with his children but with you, the reader.

Jeffrey Paul has spent most of his adult life working to change the status quo, to offer his unique perspective of the world around him.  His letters and commentaries offer the reader a chance to see things in a new light, from a different angle and from a fresh perspective.
