A Return to Common Sense is an “accessible and urgent” (Kirkus Reviews), dare we say entertaining, guide on how America works and a roadmap for restoring a government by the people and for the people. We fought a revolutionary war for the idea of self-governance and the pursuit of happiness—giving up now isn’t an option.

To address the crisis, Leigh McGowan offers six American principles, rooted in history, that we can all agree make America America:

1. America is a land of freedom.
2. Everyone should have the opportunity to succeed.
3. Every citizen must have a vote, and that vote must count.
4. Representatives should truly represent the citizens who elected them.
5. The law applies to all of us.
6. The government should be a force for good.

Using the Six Principles as a guide, this book outlines proposals for America so that it can not only find its way out of the impasse it faces but also set a course for a future we can all truly be proud of.
