 LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR SOME; HOW TO RECLAIM THE AMERICAN DREAM FOR ALL? 
 \n"These political leaders have voted for corporate tax loopholes, tax cuts 
 on the super wealthy and multinational corporations (the 1%), deregulation 
 of Big Business, and have cut spending on valuable social programs for the 
 middle class and poor (99% of Americans). These corporate sponsored 
 politicians have: outsourced our jobs to low wage countries (while 
 supporting NAFTA, WTO, TPP, TTIP, and other "free trade" agreements without 
 labor and environmental protections); increased the gap between rich and 
 poor enormously while shrinking the middle class; crashed the economy and 
 Wall Street and brought on the Great Recession, from which the majority 
 have not recovered; dismantled public schools and colleges for the 99%; 
 blocked comprehensive, universal, affordable health care; helped 
 corporations destroy our environment for immediate profits; enabled 
 corporations to sicken us with GMOs (genetically modified foods), 
 pesticides, chemicals, and corporate Agribusiness farming, against the best 
 interests of organic family farming, and the American (and world) public; 
 and as part of the "Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex" these 
 corporate sponsored politicians promoted waste, fraud, and abuse in the 
 military/defense/national security budget ($1 trillion, which is equal to 
 the defense budgets of all the 194 nations of the rest of the world 
 combined). By their actions they have destroyed the American Dream for the 
 Middle Class and Working Poor.\nWHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE\nThe book is 
 optimistic that we can, and must change, direction by galvanizing a massive 
 peaceful social movement, led by ordinary Americans, to take power back 
 from super wealthy multinational corporations, their owners, and their 
 bought politicians who serve 
 them.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/844239649000960/\n\n
