Why Not Freedom! by James Kennedy

Why Not Freedom! by James Kennedy

What does it mean to be free? Are
you free if your life is directed with micromanagement from a far-off capitol?

The authors, fervent advocates of individual freedom, point out that many
current laws are oppressive. In spite of the separation of powers established
by the Constitution, many of our current laws are written by bureaucrats,
administered by them, and finally judged by them-yet they are in opposition to
those freedoms set forth by the Constitution.
The book details the historical development of the federal government. It
describes how the American middle class has been abandoned by those who control
the federal government. Career insiders, since the days of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, have used their influence and power to promote their love of big,
tax-and-spend, centralized government and a radical social ideology, while
providing high paying taxpayer-funded jobs for themselves. Further chapters
outline the loss of inalienable rights in so many areas of life.
Twenty-four examples of constitutional usurpation are thoroughly explored.
Finally, techniques are suggested whereby citizens can organize to restore the
freedoms originally guaranteed by the Constitution.
