DEAN M. SHAPIRO is a freelance writer, editor and publicist who moonlights as a political junkie. Over the past 25 years he has been a "foot soldier" and advisor in dozens of campaigns, ranging from lower court judgeships to the presidency. He writes regularly for TravelHost magazine, Court TV's online true crime library and other publications. He is also a former newspaper reporter and editor with three published books to his credit, one of which was made into a CBS TV movie, and he teaches writing and other noncredit classes in the evenings at the University of New Orleans.

The Krewe of Truth is a political site written by Louisianians. We’re offering up information you might not find in
the daily news. We must make the connection between individual activities in the political arena and how they
impact our common good.

Since August, 2005, our state has been through cataclysmic change. We’ve lost residents, businesses, and
seemingly, we’ve lost our political way. If we don’t make informed decisions at the polls, we won’t have a
decent community to worry about. It’s that simple. These are our opinions. We invite yours. Together, we form
a Krewe of Truth.
