FEATURED“Wake Up, New York” · Released September 11
New York’s future is on the ballot — the latest front in a national fight.

Its first ad, released on the anniversary of September 11th, reached millions of New Yorkers in days — without a dollar of paid promotion.
IN HIS WORDSWake up, New York. The hour is later than you think.

COMING SOON — THE NEW BOOK
The Final Reckoning
A speculative political thriller by Jason D. Meister and Linda Genzel.
From an assassination attempt on Donald Trump to the weaponization of the courts and the machinery of the Deep State, The Final Reckoning imagines how far the battle for America could go — and what it will take to win it.
“Lawfare and a two-tier system of justice. Meister and Genzel show what happens when equal protection is abandoned and the law becomes a weapon against political enemies. Anyone who cares about the Constitution should read it.”
Alan DershowitzProfessor Emeritus, Harvard Law School, author of Why I Left the Dems—and So Should You (Confessions of a Reluctant Republican)
“The Final Reckoning is a powerful political thriller that exposes the human cost of corruption and political weaponization. It is a timely reminder that truth demands courage and that accountability must ultimately prevail.”
For television bookings, keynote engagements and interview requests. Past engagements include the Bergen County Republican Organization’s Lincoln Day Dinner.
