The New Revolution

Are "We the People" still in control of this nation? Are our systems working? Will this nation continue to be great? In A New Revolution, a small-business owner and ordinary American citizen asks the controversial, politically incorrect and thought-provoking questions that many Americans may think, but may not speak out. A New Revolution debates many critical issues, such as: - Business regulations, rules, fees and taxes - Banks, financial systems and the deficit - War and military spending - Moral deterioration and selection of our leaders - Privacy and our freedoms - The environment Backstrom attempts to answer these questions by detailing shocking personal experiences of running a small business underneath ever-increasing burdensome government regulations, which he believes are hindering America's growth and prosperity. "Recently, I attended a county meeting regarding the development of a client's commercial site for a restaurant... expenses were over $150,000 before getting any approvals, with no guarantee of approval, plus an additional $100,000 for permits... the path to their success was full of well-crafted obstacles." With passion and conviction, Backstrom offers unconventional, and perhaps to some, radical ideas for change in hopes to begin a new conversation in the country. "If we continue allowing two political parties and 545 people to control the affairs of 320 million people, we are fools... If the parties can't agree, then let's find a new way to make our representatives work together for our benefit."
