Overview
How could our cherished Democracy, which thousands have died to protect, morph into a functioning Oligarchy? The constitutional principles of checks and balances, and of separation of powers have become all but irrelevant. We now accept as normal the scandalous amounts of money corrupting all three branches of our government. This book examines the 40-year decline of the principles of our democracy as established by our founding fathers. We have traded those principles off in favor of a system totally controlled by money. It further examines the current danger of the Oligarchy we have created taking the next logical step to Autocracy. Finally, the book offers some steps that could be taken to return us to a government of the people. However, until the American people demand more honesty, more integrity, and more dedication to service from their elected leaders, we will continue our decline.

After five terms in office and some time away from state government, he returned to public service in 2003 in a variety of roles with the administration of Maine Governor John Baldacci. He had an educational background in government, earning a bachelor's degree in government from the University of Maine. Mr. Cashman has been politically active his entire life.Cashman's first book, An Irish Immigrant Story, was published in 2018 as a historical novel based on the story of his own family's journey from Ireland to the United States during the time of the Potato Famine. His unique background as a business owner, elected office-holder, and government official combines with his creative mind to bring together a collection of stories unlike any author working today. Jack has spent nearly all of his life in Maine and currently lives in Hampden with his wife of over 50 years, Betty.
