Common-Sense Platform for the 21st Century (Paperback) | Released: 17 Apr 2012

A Common-Sense Platform for the 21st Century represents a starting point for true patriots committed to the ideals and principles of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as well as the Declaration of Independence. The Platform recognizes the genius of the Founders in anticipating progress to the extent that they included a means for amending the American Constitution while keeping the original ideals and precepts intact, a means that stands in stark opposition to today's attempts to throw the baby out with the bathwater. While additional pressing concerns may be added to (or deleted from) the Platform position statements, as events dictate, the tone and construction of this document harkens back to the remarkable (and refreshingly modern) views and tenets contained in Thomas Paine's 1776 booklet, Common Sense, which greatly influenced the Framers and revolutionized governance throughout the world. Kudos for "A Common Sense Platform for the 21st Century": "This platform for the 21st century could not have arrived at a better time. With the new Congress convening after the holidays, and the next presidential election cycle already under way, this book should be required reading for every elected official, every candidate, campaign worker and, indeed, for every American."

"A post-election Washington Post survey recently announced that 'few in the [Tea Party] movement agree on a legislative agenda beyond [merely] downsizing government.' Not so. Award-winning author Beverly Eakman has thrown down the gauntlet: In a mere 120 pages, Eakman lays out an astonishing and comprehensive legislative agenda that represents views common not only to most Tea Partiers, but to all constitutionally minded Americans - and the various fed-up 'others' - who are sick and tired of party politics as usual. Eakman draws a line in the sand with A Common-Sense Platform for the 21st Century. A Proud American "Beverly Eakman's book is FANTASTIC! Not just the platform -type recommendations, but ALL of it. Every American needs to read it, preferably before the national election in 2012." Joan Battey, political columnist, Apalachian, NY In my opinion Beverly Eakman is the most thorough and honest observer/recorder/tracker of politically induced behavior modification in America today! This booklet makes the case for me!" Roni Bell Sylvester, past Chairman Good Neighbor Law and Editor of LandandWaterUSA, Denver, CO "This booklet shows how close we have come to being totally dominated and flummoxed by people bent on controlling us and our country. So many of us appreciate Bev Eakman's work." Richard L. Cutler, Ph.D., VP University of Michigan (ret); past president Nat'l Assoc of Scholars, Michigan chapter
