We can all feel it, but if we're being honest, most of us don't understand it. At the end of the day, we don't have all the facts, and if you don't know how something works, how do you fix it? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Return to Common Sense\u003c\/i\u003e is a concise, no-nonsense, dare we say fun, guide to how America works and a roadmap to reclaiming a government of, by, and for the people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e If we truly want to be a land of freedom and opportunity where everyone has a shot at a good life, we must acknowledge the ideals of America are in danger, but worth saving. We fought a revolutionary war for the idea of self-governance and pursuit of happiness--we can't just give up on it now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To address the crisis, Leigh McGowan offers Six American Principles.
