| | | From The Publisher:
Are you fed up with bickering politicians, self-satisfied bureaucrats, and a government that never seems to address the real problems facing our country? Can we create a government that is small, efficient, and responsive-from the state house to the White House? Is that kind of real change even possible? Newt Gingrich, architect of the Contract with America, says it's time for citizens to demand results from our elected officials. In this revealing and exciting new book, he shows how America can achieve transformational change-from a government of bureaucratic failure to a government that can meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. As a first step, Gingrich busts the pernicious myth that America is divided between conservative red states and liberal blue states. As Gingrich points out, the American people are united on almost every important issue facing our country-including immigration, taxes, defending America, and freedom of religion. The real division is between red-white-and-blue America and a fringe on the left. Red-white-and-blue America believes overwhelmingly-by majorities of 70 percent or more-that we need a change in course. But our politicians aren't listening. Gingrich reveals why the Democratic Party can't deliver real change and why the Republican Party won't. He provides answers and a step-by-step, issue-by-issue toolkit for building a better America-the safe, innovative, and dynamic America we all want. What will take us from the world that fails to the world that works? Real change-the kind of change that happens when politicians drop their own agendas and respond to the will of the people. Newt Gingrich shows us how we can make real change a reality.
Annotation:
In this major statement, written at the beginning of the 2008 presidential campaign season, radio host and political analyst Newt Gingrich presents a thorough review of what matters to the American people. Where others see dissension and factionalism, Gingrich asserts that on many issues the American people are in agreement and have made their views known; it?s the politicians--from both parties, says Gingrich--who don't get it. He examines the key issues, both foreign and domestic, while offering solutions that are practical and concrete, but which demand new ways of thinking. Gingrich's strength, his supporters say, is that, in speaking boldly, he has always been an architect of change.
| Author Bio| Newt Gingrich | | Newt Gingrich has a doctorate in history.
