Duane Lester’s Summary

I was trained by the United States Navy in both print and broadcast journalism. Currently, I am using that training, combined with my secondary education to opine on the current events and politics. I write on conservative politics on All American Blogger and produce a podcast on Blog Talk Radio.

I have interviewed numerous people and have been interviewed on The Michael Savage Show and The Roger Hedgecock Show on articles I have written.

I would like to make the transistion from online pundit to political activist and professional radio talent.
