America faces its greatest threat since the Civil War. The worst fears of the Founders are being realized, as powerful corporate interests have taken over our culture and representative government. We the People now face a fundamental choice: take back our country ... or do nothing, and become victims of tyranny and empire.
Thom Hartmann, our contemporary Thomas Paine, has done the hard work of researching and reading the documents that show how ordinary Americans have become second-class citizens -- overshadowed by the first-class "personhood" of corporations, their directors and officers, and the politicians they put in office. He reveals the hidden agendas of political corporatists who seek to bankrupt and "drown" our federal, state, and local governments in the process of taking total control.
Yet, thankfully, there is still time to halt the loss and restore many of our precious rights and freedoms. Hartmann points the way out of the peril -- in brilliant, down-to-earth fashion.
