From the Back Cover

Give Us Liberty is written for every American who is ready to stand up to the federal government's unprecedented power, spending, and intrusion on personal freedom. As millions are realizing, our country's future has been dangerously compromised as the national debt spirals out of sight to pay for a litany of irresponsible federal policies: "Obamacare," Wall Street sweetheart deals, liberals' pet social programs, Congressional pork, foreign aid, and new military adventures. Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe-economists and influential supporters of Tea Party activists and candidates across the country-explain what's at stake, why limited government is the answer to our crisis, and how we can renew American prosperity by studying the lessons of the revolutionary era. This paperback edition also features a new foreword by Glenn Beck.
