 Best book I have read in 10 years! July 11, 2009

I starting reading this book and just the introduction scared me. He said "I know who you are". He then read off a few items ALL matched me and my family except for the kids one.
Glenn Beck puts his heart and soul into this book. It is one of those books you just cannot put down. I finish the book in about a week. For some this is fast and for some it could be slow, but for me it and my crazy life it was fast!
Glenn Beck did not hold back any punches on anyone. This made the book more enjoyable and I constant page turner. I believe a lot of what Glenn Beck says is true, and hope and pray that our GREAT nation is not on a downward spiral.
I think everyone should read this book and question there politicians MORE! We give them vast power when we elect them and we should take it away when they cannot handle it.
Make America better hold the politicians accountable!
It was a great book, easy read, and a huge eye opener.

As the author of the new book entitled "The Wall Street Casino" I can attest to the fact that our research regarding financial and political illiteracy in America confirms many of the concepts outlined in Glenn Beck's book. The book should cause us all to review our political practices and economic goals in the bright light of history.
We continue to search for those who would lead a grass roots educational effort to combat both political and financial illiteracy...a crisis in America today. Voluntary self-screening by political candidates at www.AllCan.org would be a start

Educational and Shocking!! July 11, 2009

This is the best book that I've read in a long time! Very historically educational and shocking to learn just how out of control our government has truly become. If we do not get back to our morals and ethics I fear what will become of our country. This book gives insight into what needs to be fixed to get America headed back in the right direction.
This should be required reading for every American!!
Fighting an Out of Control Government July 12, 2009

Things are not as bad in Washington as we thought--they are much worse! Politicians have used the system they've created to afford themselves special privileges. Behaviors that would land most of us in jail are excused in the political class. They no longer view themselves as servants of the people but as rulers, unaccountable and unrestrained by law.
Courage, character, integrity and sacrifice that marked the Founders of our nation are not to be seen in the majority of today's politicians. They will say anything and do anything to get elected. Once they get to Washington their first priority is to reward their supporters and insure their reelection. They vote themselves generous salaries and huge benefits--all paid for by the taxpayer.
Beck exposes our government with its out of control budgets, its corruption, and its hypocrisy. He encourages the citizens of this country to stand together and work to defeat the corrupt candidates. He warns that if we do not get involved, we will lose our freedoms for good. We must demand a return to our founding principles. We must insist that government adhere to the constitution. Citizens must get involved and inform themselves of the slide into Fascism that we are on. We can no longer spend our evenings watching mindless entertainment, laughing at cruel jokes, ignoring our duty as citizens. An ignorant electorate will surely lead to a totalitarian government and the death of freedom.
Please read Common Sense and then get involved to bring back a government that is accountable to the people. We must fight for freedom every bit as much as those who came before us and sacrificed to pass its gifts on to us. We cannot betray the promise of America and leave our children a country that is bereft of opportunity, vulnerable to conquest, and demoralized by corruption and greedy politicians. We must take back our government and rededicate ourselves to the original intent found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Excellent book, enough is enough. July 15, 2009

Excellent, fast read. Also includes Thomas Paine's "Common Sense". Gives you pause for thought.
