America prides itself as the torchbearer of democracy, enforcing tough international regulations to ensure equal opportunities for political parties in countries all over the world. Ironically, it is a completely different story at home. The United States has become the world's least democratic democracy. Big money influence over the two main parties means that public policy is dictated by short-term special interests rather than long-term national interests. Even worse, voters are given few real choices at the polls. Laws enacted by the Republicans and Democrats strangle new political voices--keeping new parties, new ideas and new leadership off the ballot, out of the media, and out of the public mainstream. The impact is clear. Voter apathy is at an all time high, voter turn-out at an all time low, and the conventional wisdom is that politics doesn't matter anymore--that there is no reason to vote. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The fact is that politics matters more than ever and there are viable choices at the polls and countless crucial reasons to vote. The Natural Law Party: A Reason to Vote is Robert Roth's riveting, well-documented first person account of the remarkable rise of America's fastest growing political party--a party dedicated to breaking the two-party stranglehold and bringing effective solutions to America's problems. Lucidly and engagingly written, Roth's book takes the reader to the front lines of the Natural Law Party's battles to open up the election process and reinvigorate democracy. We also meet scientists, doctors, judges, educators, energy experts, farmers, and homemakers who are working to implement scientifically proven, prevention-oriented, natural-law-based programs that solve problems and revitalize the nation-without hazardous side effects. The Natural Law Party: A Reason to Vote is the first-ever account of a remarkable journey to give a much-needed new political direction to our country. As such, it provides the reader with a feeling of where we are heading as a nation and where we need to go. - from Amzon
