"The student of American culture, the patriot with red-white-and-blue blood, the parent with typical frustrations and challenges of parenthood -- all of them will enjoy and be moved by Gregory Rummo's collection of columns in The View from the Grass Roots."
--from the foreword to the book, written by
Don Wildmon, President, American Family Association, American Family Radio

“Greg Rummo will often infuriate his readers.  But he will always treat them intelligently, and he will always engage them. His great virtue is that he does not marginalize liberals with whom he is so obviously and strenuously disagrees.”
--Charles Saydah, Letters-to-the-editor Editor, The Record of Hackensack

"Sharply written. A lot of people will find it fun reading. Rummo's writing is provocative. Conservatives will find him entertaining, and liberals will be left with plenty of food for thought."
--Lisa Haddock, Religion Editor, The Record of Hackensack

The thing I like best about Greg Rummo is he's unpredictable. His columns cover a wide range of subject matter--from sports to politics, to religion--always with a fresh, down to earth approach.
--Bob Price
Editorial Page Editor
The New Jersey Herald

“Mr. Rummo’s columns are well written and timely. They are provocative yet objective.”
--Tony Rummo, retired reporter for both The Newark News and The New Brunswick Home News. Former editor for The Bernardsville News.

"Greg Rummo knows how to drive the liberals nuts. His pithy columns on a wide variety of subjects are anchored on the facts, and his opinions are intellectually honest and stimulating. It's hard to wage an opposing argument against a guy who knows the subject, his position and how to get it across through strong writing."
--Dan Mc Donough, Jr., Deputy Editorial Page Editor, The Courier-Post

"Rummo's approach to his topic is always thoughtful, clever ... never insincere. An honest person will enjoy reading 'The View from the Grass Roots.' "
Judy Lutolf, Editor, The Weekly News

"Gregory J. Rummo writes with passion, conviction and a dash of humor when appropriate."
Fred Snowflack, Editorial Page Editor, The Daily Record
