<p><strong>Inspiration for the Netflix Documentary Series</strong></p><p><strong>"Of all the important studies of the American right, <em>The Family</em> is undoubtedly the most eloquent. It is also quite possibly the most terrifying." -- Thomas Frank, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>What's the Matter with Kansas?</em></strong></p><p>They insist they're just a group of friends, yet they funnel millions of dollars through tax-free corporations. They claim to disdain politics, but congressmen of both parties describe them as the most influential religious organization in Washington.
