"Before I decided to write this book, I had only read the Constitution in grade school, and had only heard of the Federalist papers. I'd never given much thought to either. I didn't realize the importance of those documents. I didn't write this book for the scholars. I didn't write it for the pundits. Hell, truth be known I wrote it for myself. Once I had read about and studied our founding, I could never be silent again. My friends and family will vouch for that. You'll find no footnotes, no fancy literary gimmicks, just one blue collar man's view of what he learned from his journey through our founding fathers writings. I recommend that every man, woman and child read and understand those great documents. Maybe your journey will lead you to Critical Mass as well."
