Vermont Feminist Minister on Religion and Others
Roddy O’Neil Cleary, minister at the Unitarian Universalist

The Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers,
and the Media That Love Them (Hyperion, 2004), have seen all across
the country on their 70-city book tour. There is a “tremendous
hunger for independent voices, voices of dissent that are missing

Center, “People are clamoring for the truth.”
