Summary:
"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. I wrote this book to encourage every citizen to read and think about the Constitution, and to help defend it from those who misinterpret and undermine it. In
our
age of political correctness it's especially important to defend the Bill of Rights, which guarantees
our
freedom to speak, bear arms, practice
our
religion, and much
more
. The Constitution isn't history -- it's about your life in America today. And defending it is about
what
kind of country
our
children and grandchildren will inherit. I hope you'll enjoy learning about the fascinating ways that the founders established the greatest democracy in history -- and the ways that recent presidents, congresses, and courts have threatened that democracy. As the Preamble says, the purpose of the Constitution is to create a
more
perfect
union
. My goal is to empower you to help
protect
that
union
and secure the blessings of liberty."--Book jacket.
