OverviewIn The Next American Revolution , Charles R. Hooper empowers the citizens of America with the information needed to demand congressional reform. Each individual American has the right and the power to legally, safely, and effectively take back their Congress. The four constitutional mechanisms available to the people to improve their government - speech, assembly, petition, and elections - have apparently stopped working. Fortunately, the Founding Fathers left their descendants with a never used, yet very real and effective fifth constitutional power. Americans can momentarily lay aside their differences and focus their combined powers toward one common cause - a revolution calling for a convention of the states specifically and solely for the purpose of restoring a people's legislature. The author explains why this is the peoples' best (and last) hope of seriously reforming the legislative branch of government.

Table of ContentsReviews<p> Charles Hooper begins this important book by quoting Thomas Paine, whose famous line, 'These are the times that try men's souls, ' was used by George Washington to inspire his troops and whip the British. According to Hooper, we're again living in very trying times, due to the paralysis in Congress caused by partisanship and greed. He spends the rest of the book arguing for a new American Revolution -- a call for congressional reform and a return to our Founding values -- that will throw out self-serving bureaucrats and replace them with servants of the people envisioned by our Constitution. The book ends with a warning from 20th president James Garfield: 'If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption.' As Hooper says, we owe it to past and future generations to fight for a better America. <br><br> - Jim Barnes, Editor, Independent Publisher Online Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
