Sinopsis

The Idea of America led to independent sovereign States, then toáa Constitution and a new Union. áThe results of this American Experimentáwere exceptional. áPhase One, the first 120 years or so, marked a quantum leap in the standard of living and wealth, the result of a free people living under the Rule of Law. áIn Phase Two, since about 1900, America has diverged from its founding principles, today we find a countryáexceptional in many other ways, some of them not so positive. áWe are now entering Phase Three, and it is critical that more Americans are involved in the democratic process, that they identify their core beliefs, that theyálearn about our founding principles,áand that they understand the politics and economics that are affecting our future as a nation. áThroughout history great nations have risen and fallen, there is no guarantee that the American Experiment will survive. áBut it should. áLiberty, the recognition of unalienable human Rights, and the Rule of Law are criticallyáimportant. áFreedom, however, is not free. áThis book started out as a series of letters and rants to my kids and grandkids, an attempt to help them learn about the issues facing us. áIt is for anyone who believes in the Idea of America and wants to participate in keeping the American Experiment alive.
