Fox, Sam Brownback, Orin Hatch, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Claude Gerstle was a successful surgeon and athlete when a tragic bicycle accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. Now, in order to better understand the debate that divides a nation, Claude and his daughter Jessica seek the wisdom of America's most prominent politicians, crusaders, thinkers, and dissenters. Sometimes the greatest advocates for a cause are the very people who never saw themselves as an advocate in the first place. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
