Book Overview
"[Political parties] are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government..." - George Washington
In what appears to be an increasingly divided country, political party loyalty often takes priority over all else. And that comes at a cost. In reality, most Americans-no matter with which political party they align-may not fully appreciate or understand the myriad and complexity of issues facing our country. No doubt, we get factoids, soundbites, and opinions from our preferred news sources, but that does not mean we are educated on the issues: governmental checks and balances, term limits, foreign policy, the economy, deficits, and rising debt, abortion, gun rights, infrastructure requirements, energy needs, climate concerns, civil rights, entitlement programs, homelessness, challenges in urban cities and rural towns...the list goes on and on!
In these politically-charged times with few easy answers, People Over Politics: A Nonpartisan Analysis of the Issues that Matter Most breaks down the major issues impacting our country. Some issues dominate the news cycle while others do not, yet they all significantly impact our country and shape our nation's future. This book is for all Americans, especially those confused by competing political narratives, overwhelmed by the complexity of the issues, or otherwise feel politically disenfranchised. In some instances, particular emphasis is placed on the African American community, who often feel as though one party ignores them while the other takes their vote for granted.
Whether you consider yourself a Democrat, Republican, or an unaffiliated voter, this is the perfect resource to use as a primer to educate yourself on the issues that impact our communities.
