$oft Money by E.L. Burton
$oft Money was inspired by the debate over campaign finance reform and more
specifically, the role that soft money has played in recent elections. Several questions
arise when looking at the vast amount of money that flows into campaign coffers.
What expectations exist behind the contributions? Are the motives altruistic in
nature or are they motivated by a thirst for power, and the advancement of an agenda?
Why are politicians resistant to change?
This novel explores those answers in a fictional account of one man's rise to the
Oval Office and the men behind his transformation from attorney to politician. Absolute
power corrupts absolutely. The Golden Rule states that he who has the gold makes
all the rules. What happens when those who practice the Golden Rule align themselves
with the absolute power of the Presidency? In $oft Money one man finds himself at
a crossroads in his life. Should he pursue the shocking truth behind the man who
was once a business associate, and is now the President? Or should he stay loyal
to the President and remain silent? His decision will change his life, and alter
the course of the nation.
Lawrence Brazelton is the central character. Through a series of life choices, and
the blind ambition of others, he has lost everything. At his lowest point he meets
Kelly Ford, an attractive and ambitious woman. Armed with evidence that would topple
an administration, he attempts to stay one step ahead of the men trying to silence
him. With his newfound love, and desire to reclaim his life, he embarks on a journey
to bring the truth to the surface. What starts as one mans desire to reclaim his
life, cascades into a pool of deceit, greed, and an insatiable thirst for power.
