Joe A. Wolverton II

Joe Wolverton will not allow anyone in his house who doesn’t know the lyrics to “Hey, Porter,” “Johnny Reb,” and “A Country Boy Can Survive.” He’s a man of exacting standards in a world without any.

When he’s not holding his guests lyrically liable, Joe lives to share timeless principles of liberty with his readers and to help them use their new knowledge in becoming friends of freedom and defenders of the Constitution.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from BYU, Joe returned home to Memphis, Tennessee to attend law school. He earned his Juris Doctorate in 2001 and then practiced law as a constitutional attorney in Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga until 2009.

In 2004, Joe began writing for The New American magazine and since then he has traveled around the country sharing the truth about the role of individual responsibility and morality in maintaining liberty. His articles appear regularly in numerous national and international publications.

His latest book, What Degree of Madness? Madison’s Method to Make America STATES Again, reveals the weapons James Madison said the states and the people could use to force the federal beast back inside its constitutional cage.

He is also the author of The Real James Madison, the first Madison biography in decades to contain the complete text of Madison’s rarely mentioned republican essays.

Later this year Joe’s groundbreaking book revealing for the first time in over a century selections from the 37 books most influential on the Founding Fathers will be published. These books and the names of the men who wrote them were read and revered by our Founding Generation, but they have been scrubbed from our cultural memory.

Joe is from Memphis, Tennessee and will someday soon move back home to the South and settle with his family on a farm where the only way you’ll ever find him is if he wants you to.
