What has happened to America? Lou Dobbs opens INDEPENDENTS DAY with a critical and sobering view of where we stand today, and how a century of misguided policy and misplaced values has brought us here. A government that was created to be of the people is now one dominated by elites; a government intended to be by the people has become one run by politicians who are unresponsive to the needs and will of the American citizens who voted for them; a government founded for the people has become instead a willing partner in serving the demands and interests of business. The casualty of this betrayal of our national legacy is nothing less than democracy, and Dobbs charts its tragic effects in every aspect of our society. From the expenditure of trillions of dollars to underwrite a war in Iraq that the great majority of voters does not support, to an administration that has brazenly done away with public accountability while amassing debt that will burden taxpayers for years to come, to a steady decline in jobs, education, and health care, we stand on the threshold of a future that only a generation ago would have seemed inconceivable. But with the most important election in years facing us in 2008, there are signs that the public has begun to reclaim its voice in the national dialogue, asserting its right to be heard in a new, vitally engaged populism. INDEPENDENTS DAY is a stirring celebration of the emergence of this populist spirit, and an inspiring vision for an America that will flourish by honoring the cherished principles on which it was founded.

Outstanding to excellent book. Mr. Dobbs is one of the few voices crying in the wilderness for the middle class of America. I promise you sheer revelation lurks within the pages of "Independents Day." You will be amazed, horrified and mad as heck at the factual presentations therein, relating how our national and state governments are handling the citizenry's business. Most of us go through the days, months and years just muddling along without paying much attention to all of the nuances in politics and just leave it to our elected representaives "to do the right thing.". Such has been the case for too many years and now we are paying the price. The book gives a readible, factual account of what has really been happening in our Congress and Oval Office which is simply an anathma to our country and way of life which we have known. I hope Mr. Dobbs makes an attempt to establish a National Independent Party in order to give the middle 70 percent a true voice in the election process in America. You are going to love the book and, Go Lou Dobbs! Sincerely, Tigger
