Description
THE LEFT IS STEALING YOUR MONEY AND USING IT TO WAGE WAR AGAINST ITS SUPPOSED ENEMIESKen Buck Former five-term Congressman from Colorado, lawyer, and author of CRUSHED: Big Tech's War on Free Speech is back with a new warning to the the people of the United States of America in a new book: WAKE UP, AMERICA!: The Rise of Socialism is the Death of Freedom.
Bucks book is an expose of corruption, arguing that America's founders' vision for a limited federal government has been methodically chipped away by left-wing, liberal progressives to consolidate power in a government detached from those it is supposed to serve.
For over a century, the left has used the federal government to fund and promote its socialist agenda. Under the guise of flowery titles like the New Deal or Great Society, Democratic administrations have spent money America doesn't have on programs America doesn't need. Each of these leftist causes are sold to the public as temporary solutions to existential threats. But their actual purpose is to vest more control in the federal government and advance the left's partisan objectives at the expense of individual liberty.
In this book, Buck reminds us of the Founders' vision for a limited federal government, "of the people and for the people," designed to protect personal liberty by adhering to federalism and separation of powers-and how progressives have methodically chipped away at these bedrock principles to consolidate power in a government detached from those it is supposed to serve.
The threat to America has never been greater. The United States is on the precipice of defaulting on its national debt, losing the dollar as the world's default currency, watching the bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare, and becoming isolated from once close trading partners. While the left cheers America's demise so it can further suppress liberty, the world order will fall into a nuclear armed chaos. The time to act is now, and this book will arm every citizen with the knowledge and strategy to make a difference.
Government funding should be used to serve "We the People of the United States," not liberal Democrats' war on conservative Republicans, and destroy the world order.
THE BUCK STOPS HERE!

Buck learned the value of hard work from his grandfather, who opened a shoe repair store in Greeley in the 1930s. One of three brothers, he worked his way through high school, college, and law school as a janitor, truck driver, furniture mover, and ranch hand.
