In this forcefully argued conservative critique, Senator Jim DeMint from South Carolina raises the red flag on the direction America is going. In his view, we are simultaneously going down the road to socialism and to the poorhouse. Socialism and big government are seductive things that must be resisted, because, he says, they are contrary to freedom. "The price we pay is too high." Like other conservatives, DeMint speaks in a time of crisis, with a rhetoric that recalls the pamphleteers of colonial times, and he derives his views from his interpretation of America's founding principles and shared values. He regrets what he sees as the Supreme Court-mandated "separation of God and America," which leads to a secular-socialist state, and he heralds capitalism as the one true catalyst of freedom and responsibility. Lastly, he advises all American to "stay informed and get involved."

"U.S. Senator Jim DeMint's firsthand account of the unsettling socialist shift, backed by a complete action plan to reclaim America's freedom based on legislation that would reduce debt, fix Social Security, and provide a tax credit for every family. He also emphasizes reversing America's cultural decline by restoring a strong spirit of faith, family, and freedom"--Dust jacket.
