Cancel Christmas! examines how unscrupulous plans can be hatched against the will of the people using taxpayer money to hoodwink and thwart opposition. Humor and a budding romance enhance the story.

Abstract:
Cancel Christmas will make you laugh and make you angry. It could happen. Greed, ambition, and the misuse of taxpayer money are nothing new. This book depicts the classic struggle between might and right; and between raw power and thoughtful evaluation. For some, the will of the people doesn’t matter since ‘people don’t count’ as one major character says in the book.

Cancel Christmas is about character, and the conflicting emotions and forces that permeate human life – greed, fear, love, tradition, duty, and conscience. One reviewer stated, “...a timeless tale that speaks volumes to all of us....a modern Christmas Carol.”

Reviewer: Joe Looby
For the individual's dual roles of moral actor and citizen/voter, this book presents some of the very important issues of our day in a highly readable and enjoyable manner and suggests both reflection and a call to action in the public arena.

Reviewer: Jim Fitzsimmons
“Rocky gives us a snapshot of how powerful individuals, organizations and institutions can use politicians as pawns and puppets in an attempt to enrich themselves. We are reminded that the ‘Greed is Good’ philosophy needs our vigilance in a world that should care for the needs and rights of the individual. He offers hope in a distressed world.” Jim Fitzsimmons, President, Malvern Retreat

Reviewer: Sister Marianne Postiglione
“Reading this book is an experience in theater. Martino limns his two-dimensional characters with the skill of an artisan bringing them to the third dimension with extraordinary color. They literally dance from the page to the stage.” Sister Marianne Postiglione, RSM, ITEST
