Book excerpt: What are "Little Republics?" They are the tens of thousands of unique communities across America from which our Constitutional Republic as a whole derives its immense strength. Each of these little republics possesses a unique character that reflects the values of their local citizens. Combined, the republics provide the footing upon which the Constitution - the foundation of the United States of America - is built. As with the foundation of any great structure, such as a pyramid, weathering and time take their inevitable toll. Its original purpose and meaning become obscured by the cracks and fissures left behind. Likewise, the purpose and meaning of the U.S. Constitution has been warped by time and the nature of power-politics. Ordinary American Jim Christofferson constructs a very concise and convincing explanation of how the purpose and meaning of the U.S. Constitution became warped, and what fundamental changes need to be made to put America back on the track towards individual liberty and equal opportunity for all. He firmly believes that the integrity and inherent power of the ordinary citizens who constitute America's little republics remain intact. And if that power can be motivated into passionate and purposeful action through a better understanding of the forces that we as citizens are facing and what needs to be done to counteract those forces, our future remains free and bright.
