Synopsis

Sold by Mike's Collectable Books October 6, 2015 Release Date: Dear Reader, Many people have wondered why I've been speaking out on controversial issues for the last few years. They say I've never held political office. I m not a constitutional scholar. I m not even a lawyer. All I can say to that is Guilty as charged. It s true that I ve never voted for a budget America could not afford. I ve never raised anyone s taxes. And I ve never promised a lobbyist anything in exchange for a donation. Luckily, none of that really matters. Our founding fathers didn't want a permanent governing class of professional politicians. They wanted a republic, in Lincoln s words, "of the people, by the people, and for the people." A country where any farmer, small-business owner, manual laborer, or doctor could speak up and make a difference. I believe that making a difference starts with understanding our amazing founding document, the U.S. Constitution. And as someone who has performed brain surgery thousands of times, I can assure you that the Constitution isn't brain surgery. The founders wrote it for ordinary men and women, in clear, precise, simple language. They intentionally made it short enough to read in a single sitting and to carry in your pocket.
