Released through Regnery Publishing, the book received positive reviews by fellow conservative writers such as Ann Coulter, Tim Carney, and Terence P.
In an article for Human Events written after the 2006 midterm election in which the Democratic Party took over the U.S. House, he argued, "They paid the price for failing to adopt meaningful ethics and lobbying reforms that would change the way Washington works."
