O knihe

"Consent of the Governed," was written to remind Americans that our government is supposed to be working for us. All politicians serve at the bidding of those who elect them. Political track records do not confirm reasons for continued employment in behalf of the citizens. There is something infinitely wrong when only 537 people - out of 300 million - believe themselves to be the only ones capable of making decisions that seriously effect what happens to the rest of us. There is also something wrong when we allow them continuance of service at such low levels of competence.

If you believe that everything is peachy-keen with the way government functions and that whatever the politicians want to do is OK, then this book is NOT for you. If you believe that government does not need to be accountable or efficient; that obscene waste is acceptable, then this book is NOT for you. If you believe that our children are receiving the best possible education in our public schools, then this book is NOT for you. If you believe that taxes are not high enough and that we should regress to the levels of failed old-world socialistic empires, then this book is NOT for you. If you believe that incumbent politicians should have unchallenged rights to continual re-election, then this book is NOT for you.

However, if you believe that politicians and bureaucrats are not doing a good job, that the media is more motivated to provide entertainment than substance, that our children are being ill-served by a bureaucratic public school systems run amok, that our taxes are indeed too high, that our congress is spending too much money - and mostly on the wrong things, that wasteful pork projects have reached obscene levels, and that something needs to be done about it, then this book IS for you.

"Consent of the Governed," is a compilation of the many things that have left Americans distraught and angry. It is also offers suggestions regarding what can be done about it - if you're willing to put forth a little effort. America belongs to you, not the politicians. Take it back!
