Reviving Our Republic: 95 Theses for the Future of America

From Founding Principles to Future Promise: 95 Theses to Reinvigorate America for the 21st CenturyThe United States is in a partisan gridlock. As our constitutional principles erode away and the decline of civic engagement threatens the foundation of American democracy, navy veteran turned preservation leader Michael Bedenbaugh presents a compelling vision for the future of our country. Reviving Our Republic: 95 Theses for the Future of America is a bold blueprint for addressing the most pressing challenges facing our nation today.
Drawing inspiration from Martin Luther's historic call for reform, Bedenbaugh offers a dynamic framework for political reform, reinterpreting founding principles for modern 21st-century challenges. Grounded in lessons across history from the warnings in Washington's Farewell Address to the Citizens United decision of 2010 that enabled influence of corporations on policy, Reviving Our Republic is a fresh, nonpartisan approach to restructuring American governance, with 40 actionable proposals aimed at fostering a more responsive, accountable government.
In this blend of practical experience and scholarly insight, readers will learn: Proposals to reform the electoral system, including instituting term limits and Electoral College reform. Strategies to curb corporate influence in politics and strengthen individual liberty. A plan to restore the balance between federal and state powers, reviving true federalism in our national government. Methods to ensure fiscally responsible governance and address the national debt crisis.
Ways to realign foreign policy with America's founding principles of neutrality in world affairs without hiding under isolationism. Reviving Our Republic is not a critique of our political climate-it's a call to action for engaged citizens who yearn for meaningful change. Whether you're a concerned voter, community leader, or a student of politics, history, and economics, this book is a radical approach to reform that will inspire you to engage in America's path forward as a united nation.
