My purpose for writing this book was to inform the American people that a lot of bad decision making was being done by our elected officials whose motivational points were greed, selfishness, and fear. We owe our children and their children the opportunity to grow up under a less treacherous and more prosperous environment. I pray and hope that there are enough concerned people out there to care enough to come together and legally effect some kind of positive change. We should all be tired of the status quo.
