Inhaltsangabe

Pathway to citizenship or deportation for illegal immigrants? Immigration—perhaps the most explosive social question facing our country today. In The Legislator, the sequel to The Senator in Mike Gilmore’s Levels of Power series, two U.S. senators place their political future in jeopardy when the governor of Arizona ask for their help to stop heavily armed drugs runners from crossing the U.S. / Mexico border. Senators Randy Fisher and Tom Evans know that to solve border security they must also bring the issue of immigration to the forefront of the U.S. Congress. In a coordinated event, they team up with members of the House of Representatives to submit before both chambers two controversial pieces of legislation to finally deal with the political issues. The initial reception by congress to the legislation seems to favor the bills but their most powerful foe remains silent to the American voters—the White House. When finally pressured for a statement, the president holds nothing back. Declaring that the senators are only interested in votes for the next election, he uses every political power of his office to defeat the bills. Months of work by the legislators to convince the members of congress pale in comparison to deadly events outside of their control. Levels of Power: The Legislator offers a unique viewpoint on a pathway to citizenship for nearly 20 million illegal immigrants straining the social systems of the United States.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

At 15 years of age, Mike Gilmore started working for his uncle’s wholesale firm selling candy and tobacco products to small, family owned grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants. He became the general manager by the time he was 23. It was a male dominated business at the time, and he worked with men who had lived through the Great Depression and World War II. From their personal lives, he learned the work ethics he still uses today. In 1986, he shifted to the wholesale electrical and plumbing distribution business where he started to learn his current trade. He filled positions as operation manager, branch manager, and regional branch manager in Ohio, Florida, and finally the coastal area of South Carolina. In 2003, he took a position with one of the world’s largest and most respected manufactures of plumbing fixtures for both residential and commercial products. He has worked as an account manager, market development specialist, and now as a national account manager, servicing only one trade distributor that covers the United States, Mexico, and Canada with a sales force of over 1,100 associates. He is the author of the five previous “Levels of Power” novels featuring United States Senator Randy Fisher. He released a little gem called “The Toilet Salesman…The Oh So Necessary Guy”. The book covers incidents from 25 years of selling plumbing and electrical products. In between the Levels of Power novels, he started the SLED Investigation series with The Lace House Murder and The Capital Center Murder. With his wife Cheryl, they wrote a science fiction novel titled 12-24-36. The Tales From the Azalea Cottage is a collection of short stories that offers a break from the every day tensions. He lives with his wife and two cats in South Carolina. Their names are Pokey and Pepper.
