Review:
Praise for Blue in a Red State:
"It will make you laugh. It will make you angry. And it will leave you feeling optimistic about America. Blue in a Red State is a real gem."
Bob Herbert, Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos and former op-ed columnist for the New York Times
"An illuminating view of how real people deal with political differences. Participating in our democracy is not always a smooth journey, but Krebs shows liberals how to maintain their values, their dignity, even their sense of humor in the process."
Liz Shuler, Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO
"Fascinating stories of real Americans navigating fraught political territories. We can all learn something about how to reach across the aisle from Blue in a Red State."
Thom Hartmann, Radio/TV Host
"Krebs gives hope that there is a way for progressives to live happily in red states. A fun read and great advice."
Andy Stern, Former Head of SEIU

Praise for Justin Krebs’s 538 Ways to Live, Work, and Play as a Liberal:
"Krebs says Americans can live a more socially conscious, environmentally friendly and liberally minded life. He even advises readers on how to raise their kids liberally and how to effectively engage in dinner table debate with their conservative counterparts. Being liberal isn’t just a political choice, Krebs argues. It’s a lifestyle."
In These Times
"A sanity-saving, moral guide to living in a contemporary society hell-bent on crushing you with its consumer choices, paralyzing you with moral relativism, and making you want to go numb with all the pain and injustice."
Feministing
Praise for Justin Krebs:
"Politicians want to pick his brain, women want to play with his ponytail; as social movement movers and shakers go, Drinking Liberally co-founder Justin Krebs is a virtual whirling dervish of democratic dynamism."
