Reading Fred Holden's Total Power of ONE in America gave me more valuable information about our country, than all the classes I've had in civics and government. Flipping to the Bill of Rights (page 43) re-reminded me of what our founding fathers 'gave' us. I'm now ready to be MORE involved in my community and my country. Thanks Fred for the 'thumb in my back.'
Powerful civics lesson for voting Americans of all ages.

Written in a challenging form, the book is a primer on civics in the United States today. it takes into account realities, perceptions and analasis of the representitive democracy that is the United States of America The basic tennant of this book is that individuals have been led to believe by the media and government leaders that they are irrelevant and inconsequential. By following the guidelines outlined in this book, one can begin to affecvt change in their community. This first step leads to awareness in the process of govenrment and through participation, readers learn that their involvement in the system is not only possible but effective. This book is a "must read" for high school and college students who are interested in persuing careers in government or politics. For older Americians, this book is a valuable asset in assessing government, it's relevance, control and how individuals can still affect change.
