Deanna Spingola is a keen observer of American political realities as they are rather than as they are portrayed by the monopoly mass media. One cannot ignore history and attempt to understand current events. History is prologue! She is also an avid reader and researcher and active in family history research. She is the author of two unrelated books on quilt design. She writes for Renew America, News With Views, Novakeo, The People’s Voice, and has her own web site at www.spingola.com.
