Mission Statement

America has gotten off track. Our politicians are in the pockets of special interests and private agendas. The mainstream media has been cowed into abdicating their role as the Fourth Estate. And the citizenry is awash in apathy, ignorance, and despair.

We, the people, in order to restore a more perfect union, have to take back the reins of government from those who have failed us and get America Back on Track.

Always fresh and current. No prepared text. No yellowed pages so dog-eared they bark. Just notes, prepared uniquely for every occasion, Tony Seton speaks to this need in non-partisan terms, summoning his audience to a new, vibrant, participatory patriotism that provokes laughter and applause, and a feeling of progress.
