Book Cover & Preview Text
"I'm not a politician ... our country has more than enough politicians, it does not need another one. Everywhere we look we see the ugly presence of waste, corruption and greed, growing as a cancer within us. Special interest groups through their donations getting more rights and considerations than they are entitled to. In our country people are doing without, our young men in uniform are dying, fighting questionable battles in foreign countries: while our politicians continue to vote themselves more and more benefits, as our national debt grows unabated much like a wild fire ... I make no claim to know what goes on behind the scenes in Washington ... nor do I care to. ... What I know is it's not working."

About the Book
The year was 2007 the Democratic and Republican National Committees had, after a great deal of behind the scenes negotiations and arm twisting, come to terms on the selection of their candidates for the office of the President of the United States. For the Parties a great deal was at stake. To the victor would go the spoils; and in America the spoils were unimaginably great. Campaign money was abundantly available, thrown about like water by the lobbyists for the special interest groups. Though each Party talked up what they stood for, and would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to convince the voters of this, the voters found no matter which Party was victorious little changed, all the campaign rhetoric seemingly forgotten. All the while America's greatness continued to slide downward, much in the way all past great empires had. Now faced with a serious downturn in the economy a growing level of dissent and restlessness was in the air, as an ever greater number of people were having difficulty getting by.
