Book Presentation

America is today facing challenging times. National debt is spiraling out of control and progressives have gained the upper hand in both political parties. Whereas Democrats and Republicans once fought to be known as the party of minimum government and maximum freedom, there is now almost bipartisan fiscal recklessness no matter which party is in power.

All these problems have arisen because America has turned its back on what was spelled out in the Constitution and in the actions of first-generation American political leaders. Once this is understood, then the solution becomes easier to map out as well. We need to demand the kind of radical reform our political leaders are unable and unwilling to undertake because it may impact on their ability to get reelected.

To restore the American dream, we must return to enshrining individual rights as paramount, adhere tightly to the blueprint laid out in the Constitution and completely reengineer the role of government in a free society. It’s time not to storm the beaches but to move the nation forward by restoring and reinvigorating what America has always stood for and by uniting around the inevitable shared sacrifices which will be required.
