Why have American policies failed? What alternative policies can return America to its promise, internally and in the eyes of a global community? This book answers these questions in a preposterous way. It asks citizens and policy makers to actually connect the dots—to move America forward by developing mutually supportive and complementary foreign, national security, Middle East, economic, domestic, inner city, media, campaign finance, and voting reform policies.

Reviews for Patriotism, Democracy and Common Sense
[Takes] a hard look at the United States and suggests practical alternatives to present policies.
The Review of Higher Education
Enormously important.
Theodore C. Sorensen, Former Special Counsel to President John F. Kennedy This volume can only help restore America's promise at home and abroad.
Kevin Phillips, former strategist in the Nixon White House, author of Wealth and Democracy This is one of the clearest, most important books of our time written by some of the most insightful and provocative experts. It is a truth-telling book that makes the connections from individual failures to the comprehensive indictment of what is wrong with America. This one book says it all with some of the most honest voices of our time.
Celinda Lake, pollster and political strategist, Lake Snell Perry Mermin and Associates How do you get to the American people? They are aware of what is happening to some extent. It's the solutions that they need and we have failed. Patriotism, Democracy and Common Sense can begin to reverse that. It offers a cogent and comprehensive policy prescription that people can understand.
