Synopsis

In this hard-hitting political wake-up call, the authors demonstrate how modern Americans have been robbed of many freedoms promised to them by the founding fathers in the Constitution. Now the government�s swollen bureaucracy threatens middle-class Americans through larcenous taxation, an inept �politically-correct� educational system, and privacy-violating federal regulations. The Kennedys advocate restoring our Constitutional rights by strengthening each state�s government.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Little did the founders of the United States foresee the extent to which their good planning could go astray. Modern Americans are not as free as our forefathers were. In spite of the separation of powers established by the Constitution, many of our current laws are written by bureaucrats, administered by them, and finally judged by them--yet these laws are in opposition to those freedoms set forth by the Constitution!
James Ronald Kennedy and Walter Donald Kennedy assert that America has been led astray by the bureaucratic political establishment, the liberal media, and the "politically correct" educational establishment. They describe how individual liberties have been degraded, how status-quo politicians keep themselves in power with your tax dollars, and how the very foundations of middle-class America--from its work ethic to its religious principles--are threatened.
Why Not Freedom!: America's Revolt Against Big Government details many current laws that are oppressive and suggests how citizens can organize to restore the freedoms originally guaranteed by the Constitution--by returning proper power to the sovereign states so that each can protect itself from the abuses of the federal government. The hardworking, law-abiding, morally and financially responsible men and women who make up the middle class must get back what is rightfully theirs: "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
As authors and historians, twin brothers James Ronald Kennedy and Walter Donald Kennedy are dedicated to reclaiming the freedoms--and responsibilities--promised to all citizens by America's Constitution. Together, they wrote Was Jefferson Davis Right? and the best-selling The South Was Right!, which has sold almost 100,000 copies and is now in its tenth printing. Walter Donald Kennedy's Myths of American Slavery and James Ronald Kennedy's Reclaiming Liberty are also published by Pelican.

About the Author

Born in Copiah County, Mississippi, James Ronald “Ron” Kennedy is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, as his ancestors fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Kennedy, along with his brother, Walter Donald “Donnie” Kennedy, wrote The South Was Right!, exploring the political and social impact of the Civil War on both the South and the United States Constitution. Why Not Freedom!: America’s Revolt Against Big Government picks up where their first book ends with further discussions on states’ rights and individual freedom. The Kennedy brothers’ third book, Was Jefferson Davis Right?, outlines the life and trial of Jefferson Davis. Ron Kennedy is also the coauthor of Nullifying Tyranny: Creating Moral Communities in an Immoral Society and Reclaiming Liberty, also published by Pelican Publishing Company.
