The ability to participate in a free democracy is one of America's greatest attributes. For the last half decade, it has become apparent that there is democratic backsliding occurring in the United States. Instead of progressing, many states are regressing at the hands of some lawmakers, with antiquated attitudes and political ideas. The unwillingness of lawmakers to work together, continues to impact the lives of Americans on both sides of the isles. As well as those that are standing right in the middle.
The Constitution established the United States as a democratic republic. We must remember that as a democratic society, We the People govern ourselves and it is a republic because the government's powers is derived from the people that we elect to office. This means that our government - federal, state, and local are elected by voters to represent every citizen.
If you've ever considered running for office, regardless of if it's for your school board, town council, county commissioner, state legislature or even congress, this book is for you. Written by a former candidate for the Florida House of Representatives, Cornelius Jones, uses his personal experience to tell readers where to start and how to navigate through the campaign process.
This book is broken into two parts. The first part of the book discusses the democratic chaos, pollical discourse, threat of polarization, America's propaganda problem, and how partisanship sucks. The second part of the book encourages and explains to readers how to run and what to expect. This is call to action and is intended to get individuals in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, to stop complaining and start campaigning.
