We Hold These Truths to be Self-Evident: New book by Oliver DeMille
Published: Sat, 01/18/14
Natural Law and the Proper Role of Government...
I know, I know.
You've been meaning to get around to
fixing America. Or Canada, or whatever great nation you call home. In
the meantime, we've all been waiting for the politicians to fix things.
Waiting...
Waiting...
Still waiting...
Waiting's
not working.
The real solution to our society's decline is surprising,
and only the regular people can really make it happen. Few of our
political leaders or anyone else knows what is needed.
The
answer? Our society is breaking twelve natural laws, and until we change
this, the decline will continue-- no matter what else happens.
On the
other hand, when we know and live these twelve laws, we will create a
new era of freedom, prosperity, and widespread success.
This is
real. It's what Thomas Paine called "common sense." It's time to make it
happen, and we, the regular people, have all the power over these
twelve laws. Now is the time to take action!
But first we need to know the twelve laws.

Much requested, long anticipated...
