Subject: Jerome R. Corsi - 41 Copeland Road Denville, NJ 07834 (973) 989-7766

Corsi from Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Corsi


Corsi background from Cleveland - The Plain Dealer.

He grew up in East Cleveland. A champion high school and college debater, he graduated from St. Ignatius High School in 1964, Case Western Re serve University in 1968 and Harvard University (with a doctorate in political science) in 1972.

He is the oldest of three children of Alice and Louis E. Corsi, a railroad union official. The son dedicates the new Obama book to his father, "for the care with which he first introduced me to politics."

That dedication drew a chuckle from Cleveland lawyer Kenneth F. Seminatore, a classmate of Corsi's at CWRU and a roommate while both attended Harvard. Louis Corsi was a Democratic Party activist and a leader of the United Transportation Union, which he helped organize in 1965.

"Lou was so far to the left that he would have made Barack look conservative," Seminatore said. "Lou was a trade unionist to the core."

His firstborn started swerving rightward while still a teen. Jerome Corsi then took full-time work in 1967 with Edward How ard & Co., a public relations firm, and volunteered to "bird dog" Carl Stokes' historic campaign to become the nation's first black big-city mayor. Corsi worked for Republican Seth Taft, gathering intelligence on Stokes and helping prepare Taft for his debates.

"Those were formative years for me, both as a young man advancing my education and becoming involved with politics," said Corsi, 62, who now lives in Denville Township, N.J. "I was always inclined to be more conservative than my father. We were constantly talking about politics. We'd stay up late, watching the news, enjoying the evenings together."

Forty years later, Corsi said he still regrets Stokes' win in that watershed race and, more recently, Ken Blackwell's loss in his bid to become Ohio's governor.

Corsi and Blackwell co-wrote a 2006 book called "Rebuilding America: A Prescription for Creating Strong Families, Building the Wealth of Working People, and Ending Welfare." This week, Corsi acknowledged he was also responsible for the Blackwell camp's accusation that Gov. Ted Strickland had harbored a pedophile on his staff. He said he still thinks the issue was never fully aired.

Even as the debate over "The Obama Nation" has hit high froth, with Obama spokesman Tom Vietor calling Corsi "a discredited liar peddling another piece of garbage," the author calls his new best seller a much- needed corrective. Threshold Editions, a division of Simon & Schuster, has printed 475,000 copies in anticipation of demand.

"I don't think these matters should be off-limits," he said. "I'm sorry. I grew up in a journalistic age where reporters pursued issues hard and didn't care if they got invited to dinner anywhere."
