Rebuilding Our Democracy

Do you believe the people in charge are looking out for you, or for themselves?Rebuilding Our Democracy doesn’t add another round of outrage to the pile. It offers a plan, built the way an engineer writes a specification: name the defect, find the cause, and fix it with a credible mechanism, a believable timeline, and a number you can check.Written by a retired electrical engineer, financial officer, and Navy veteran of the Korean War, this book applies a lifetime of diagnosing broken systems to a country that has stopped trusting either party. Drawing on polling data, voting records, and legislative history spanning more than four decades, the author lays out sixteen specific, costed fixes, sorted by what a single session of Congress could pass now, what a governing majority could finish in one term, and what will take a decade of steady rebuilding.The book holds both parties to the same record, unafraid to critique the author’s own Democratic Party alongside the Republicans. Its guiding principle: restoration, not revenge - accountability through the courts of law, not payback.This is not a book about who to blame. It is a work order for repairing the country.
