“As governor and now working with students, I’ve seen how the Radical Left has co-opted power from the American people. In The Political Vise, John Tillman exposes their strategy and then presents a plan to restore power where our founders intended—with We the People. Conservatives young and old should read this book.”

—Scott Walker, former governor, Wisconsin

“In The Political Vise, John Tillman reveals why so many politicians regularly vote for policies that are counter to the views of their constituents. Politicians respond to pressure. Too often the greatest pressure is not coming from the voters but rather the insiders, dealmakers and special interests. Tillman explains how and why this happens and provides a road map for the American people to fix it.”

—Scott Rasmussen, founder, Napolitan Institute; president, RMG Research

“The Political Vise tells the truth so many don’t want to hear: government unions, the trial bar, corporate interests seeking tax and regulatory favors, and do-gooder progressive ideologues mount continuous pressure campaigns to move politicians to vote against America’s best interest. I learned long ago that the best antidote is a robust grassroots movement. In The Political Vise, Tillman shows how the American people, starting with the grassroots activists, can retake control of our republic.”

—Ned Ryun, founder and CEO, American Majority

“The Political Vise is a battle plan for conservatives and free marketeers to take back our country from the Radical Left and win the twenty-first-century war of ideas. Losing is not an option.”

—Stephen Moore, author of Trumponomics and cofounder, Club for Growth

“Ours is indeed a system of We the People, but it is often really ‘We the People . . . who show up.’ In The Political Vise, John not only lays out what happens when showing up is left to the Radical Left—he offers a clear, empirical, and important blueprint for how the right can start winning again.”

—Jase Bolger, former speaker, Michigan House of Representatives

“John Tillman’s The Political Vise is a must-read for conservative warriors. Tillman offers his unique insights into how the Radical Left has altered the political landscape. He outlines how a ruling class of influencers has captured large swaths of the voter, using tactics like fear mongering to sway impressionable voters and prop up unprincipled politicians to enact their agenda. We must continue our fight at the grassroots level and ensure freedom reigns over the United States for generations to come.”

—David McIntosh, president, Club for Growth; former congressman from Indiana

“The left has waged a war on truth in hopes of one day eviscerating the ultimate truth that we have been endowed by our creator with inalienable rights and liberties. John Tillman brilliantly defines that war, its tactics, its perpetrators, and its antidote. The Political Vise is a must-read for anyone hoping to restore sanity and freedom to this great country.”

—John Solomon, award-winning investigative journalist and founder of Just the News

“John Tillman doesn’t merely diagnose problems in The Political Vise, though he does that quite well. He also offers proactive solutions to these thorny and persistent challenges, forged from decades of fighting on the front lines in one of the least hospitable political climates for conservatives in the country. Elected officials and Americans broadly must read this book and consider his advice.”

—Guy Benson, conservative commentator and writer
