Let's start at the beginning.On the Fourth of July 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 founding fathers. All thirteen original colonies were represented. This document created the United States of America. The objective of the declaration was to create a new nation by breaking away from a repressive English government.Major concepts of the declaration include that "All Men are Created Equal", Governments are instituted by men to secure rights such as "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" and in conclusion: "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. But that long established governments should not be changed 'for light and transient causes'".The last concept listed above will be the foundation for this book. In my opinion, and many people feel this way, the current two-party system of the United States has created a form of government that is destructive. I also believe the right of the people to alter the government should be invoked. As Founding Father John Dickinson mentioned in his "Liberty Song" "Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all, By Uniting we Stand, By Dividing we Fall."
