Anthony Congiano

Anthony Congiano is the founder and senior editor of the Manual for Democracy. Even as a self-described former Regan Democrat, Anthony was always best known for his artsy creative side; where he excelled in music, art, painting, and shredding licks across the fretboard of his guitar while still finding the time to become an avid photographer, poet, and writer; all of which are featured on his artistic site over at www.congiano.com.

He worked in the Healthcare industry both as an orthitist’s assistant & held certifications to fabricate custom vascular compression garments for burn victims and lymphoedema patients. Anthony’s career then shifted gears into the Information Technology industry where he held certifications from IBM, Comp TIA, & Microsoft.  

His political interests were initially sparked by the election in 2000 but it was the election of 2004 that really lit the fire that has since blazed into the Manual for Democracy.

Today, as a fiscally conservative but socially liberal Democrat, Anthony Congiano finds himself in the center of the political game; usually leaning left, sometimes right, but most often leaning against the authoritarian far right-wing neo-cons of the Bush Administration.
