What People are Saying about Seeing Cal Speak

Rating Entries

    “Cal was wonderful. He was definitely the right person for us to bring in. We appreciate Shawn′s recommendation. The most important part of a fund raising dinner is the ask. It was perfect. I had people come up to me afterwards, telling me they have never heard a better ask. Because of it, we have already had our best fund raising event in the history of the school. We are still receiving gifts and will most likely reach our goal by the end of the week. Cal also received a standing ovation afterwards. “
    Doug Cain

    “Cal was straight to the point in his analysis of our current social climate (no surprise) but was absolutely hilarious in his way of making a wonderful case for Desert Christian Schools. I’ve read Wit and Wisdom, which is very humorous, but his stage presence and comedic delivery opened the door to everyone’s heart to receive the challenge he made to support DCS. Some of our staff members have asked how Cal knows so much about our school – he skillfully wove our mission and capital campaign into the fabric of his presentation. It was, in a word, FANTASTIC!”
    Cecil Swetland
    Executive Director and CEO, Desert Christian Schools

    Common Ground: How to Stop the Partisan War That Is Destroying America

    Inspired by their popular USA Today column, conservative Cal Thomas and liberal Bob Beckel unmask the hypocrisy of the issues, organizations, and individuals that have created and deepened the partisan divide at the center of American politics, and make a strategic case for why this bickering must stop. Thomas and Beckel explain how bipartisanship and consensus politics are not only good for the day-to-day democratic process but also essential for our nation′s future well-being. Entertaining and informative, funny and healing, Common Ground is a must-read for all concerned citizens.
