This is my perspective as an average American citizen who has become increasingly disillusioned with our elected officials. Extreme partisan politics created a government that is too dysfunctional to be effective. Meaningful legislation is derailed due to ideological divides. In the meantime, our once great country edges closer to irrelevance as our leaders imbibe in self-aggrandizement. This book is a clear-eyed take on some of the most pressing issues that our country is currently facing, and more importantly, some prudent, common-sense solutions to these issues. Left to politicians on the fringes, the ship of state will never be righted. It is up to us, the citizen statesmen who reside in the middle of this country, to put forth ideas such as those in Red White & Blueprint for America and demand that our elected representatives follow through with ideas like those presented. We must restore the United States of America to its rightful position as the greatest nation in the world. God bless America
