    About this ebook

    If this were a novel, it would be categorized as Dystopian. But our troubled reality is very real. Our forefathers gained this freedom through their blood, sweat, and tears. But now our failing nation is at death’s door and only We the People can stop it from sliding into oblivion.
    Set aside labels - this is neither one party or another. In this book you will find the words of our founding fathers - from the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and from speeches. They support my statements. I can no longer remain quiet while our country slides into darkness.
    Liberty’s torch is fading. All I have is One Small Light - the ability to vote. But if many small lights all stand together, we can outshine the darkness threatening to diminish the few remaining embers. Let the Lady of the Harbor shine once more. Stand together, united, for the future of the United States of America.

      “Power to the People” was a chant used by anti-war and civil rights protesters in the ’60s. John Lennon wrote a song with that title in 1971. The idea flowed from the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution which begins, “We the people.” The concept behin

      One Small Light

      "Light one candle for the strength that we need

      To never become our own foe

      And light one candle for those who are suffering

      Pain we learned so long ago

      Light one candle for all we believe in

      That anger not tear us apart

      And light one candle to find us together

      With peace as the song in our hearts.

      Don’t let the light go out!

      It’s lasted for so many years!

      Don’t let the light go out!

      Let it shine through our hopes and our tears."

      Peter Yarrow from Light One Candle

      "This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine."

      Harry Dixon Loes
