John Kasich

John Kasich is an avid defender of values, integrity, and the American spirit. With his trademark frankness and charisma, he speaks with the highest authority about what he holds most dear: building a better future for our children.  

Leading the Charge. Newsweek named Kasich one of its significant "100 people for the 21st century," citing his nine terms as a congressman in Ohio, his work on balancing the national budget as chairman of the House Budget Committee, and his service as chair of the congressional committee on welfare reform. Encouraged by the Republican party, Kasich ran for president in 1999, and he currently chairs a nonprofit association, The New Century Project Issues Forum. His two New York Times bestsellers, Courage Is Contagious and the recent Stand for Something: The Battle for America's Soul, call for Americans to strive to be compassionate, unified citizens.  

Admired for his dedication to ethics and ideals by the likes of Bono, George Stephanopoulos, coach Mike Krzyzewski, and Bill O'Reilly, Kasich speaks to the warping of values - not just about it - and offers common-sense, real world solutions. He is a contributor to several Fox News shows and is a frequent guest host of The O'Reilly Factor. Whether speaking from the news desk at FOX, or from a podium before live groups, Kasich's ability to stimulate change within the individual is unmistakable.  

Making a Difference. John Kasich believes that each of us has the potential to make America great. He speaks to people about raising the bar in their lives, personally as well as professionally. He explains his decision to leave politics - to work on a human level rather than a legislative one - and teaches how individuals can contribute to the betterment of our communities and the country at large. Kasich's boundless enthusiasm for encouraging people to work together speaks volumes about the positive we can have on each other.  

Accepting the Challenge. Kasich uses personal anecdotes and tells real life parables featuring incredible American heroes and role models to illustrate his points. His mission is to issue a challenge for us to use our talents, our gifts, and our determination to make a difference, no matter how small, in other people's lives - and ultimately in our own. In his words, "If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them."
