This book was born out of the deep frustration the author felt while watching the 2011 Debt Ceiling debacle play out on TV. As it took shape, the President's approval rating fell to a low 36% and the Congressional approval rating plummeted to a miserable 14%. Needless to say, the mood of the nation was, and continues to be, one of general disgust for our elected representatives and a strong desire for change. The author, Eric J. Kiser, had finally had enough. Gathering a diverse group of friends around him, he formed the political action committee (PAC) The League of Non-Aligned Voters. This political manifesto is his attempt to tell it like it is. The message: The American public seems to have forgotten how this country should work. Voters today are unhappy with the state of our union but still believe the answers to all our problems will be found with a politician already working in government. And, besides all evidence to the contrary, the voting public actually believes this career politician will be able to bring about the necessary improvements and reforms. The American people obviously have no idea how to go about achieving real change. If we did, we would not place our trust in a single candidate or one political party that claims to have all the answers. Meanwhile, these political parties have managed to herd a majority of Americans into two tidy little groups -- Liberal or Conservative. Red People or Blue People. Left or Right.-- Here they try to convince us that the fault for all our problems falls squarely in the lap of the opposition. Do we really believe that one party has all the answers or, that the other party is the cause of every problem on earth? I don't think so. Could it be that each side has some ideas or platforms that are good for America and some that are bad? This seems a little more accurate. But, the most likely scenario today is that both parties' share much of the blame for the problems in our current political system and both have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. This book has one simple goal in mind: To get more Americans thinking about how to regain control over the government again. This book suggests ways on how to do that by removing emotion from the equation and replacing it with logic, common sense and as much humor as we can muster. If we can just put away our partisanship long enough to remember a few basic concepts, then perhaps we can all come to a greater understanding of, and commitment to, the work that needs to be done, and why we better get to it before its too late. Remember; It was never supposed to be about moving the public to the Left or Right. It's supposed to be about all of us moving FORWARD!
