Description
Millions of Americans sit on the sidelines in apathy, fear, indifference, and ignorance as politicians and activists shape our American values, our behavior, and our perception of government. Using deception, fallacies, and bully tactics, political activists are fundamentally changing our system of governance through presidential executive orders, judicial legislation, and congressional legislative hemorrhaging. Listening to pundits, reading books, and attending meetings of like-minded individuals is not enough to combat these changes. Concerned patriots must engage in civil debate and confront those who seek to change our Constitution and our blessings of liberty. Citizen Ninja explains James Madison's four civic virtues: Civic Knowledge, Self-Restraint, Self-Assertion, and Self-Reliance. Civic Knowledge includes understanding how our government is structured the checks and balances. In Citizen Ninja, readers learn that exercising civic duty means engaging the public passionately and professionally, which is challenging. The book features easy-to-implement steps to engage civic responsibility to preserve our blessings of liberty.
A good selection for libraries, families to discuss over dinner, and anyone concerned about "where we're going, as a Nation."
