Preserving Democracy
Today is not only tax day, it is also the day my latest book is released by my publisher. The book is Preserving Democracy, What the Founding Fathers Knew, What We Have Forgotten, and How it Threatens Democracy. Since I have been writing this book for about 10 years, it was not written for the current situation, but it remains perfectly timed to what is going on. The basic premise is that over the last 100 years we have made significant changes to our government, but few understand the reasons for the system of checks and balances created by the Founding Fathers. When we make changes today are we improving government, or removing key checks and balances that keep the system functioning? While the book takes a strong stand it does so by focusing on problems and policies, not people and personalities.
The book is available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble in Hardcover and any book store can order it. It is also available on Kindle, and Adobe eBook formats, and should be out in audio shortly.
I hope that you like the book and will tell others about it
Here is some praise for Preserving Democracy

Here are some of the endorsement from the back cover,
“Elgin Hushbeck has produced an integrated primer masterfully relating the issues of U. S. politics today to the country’s origins and future prospects. Every citizen who seeks to be not merely informed but also inspired ought to read it.” – W. B. Allen, Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy, Michigan State University
“In his latest book, Elgin Hushbeck lances the boil of America’s addiction to big government. Nothing escapes his delicate scalpel — taxes, public education, welfare, voting, capitalism, health care. For a nation that has all but forgotten the Constitution upon which it was founded, this book is essential reading.” David Alan Black, Professor of New Testament and Greek, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
“The founding fathers fought tyranny and founded this democratic nation based upon individual freedoms and values. Now, the nation faces a new tyranny – from within. It’s the politicians, jurists, academicians, media and special interests that are leading this nation away from constitutional government and straight to socialism. Become part of an informed electorate and stop this slide to socialism. Preserving Democracy is our primer.” – Richard G. Miller, MCPO, U.S. Navy (Ret.)
