Charleston, SC, July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For nearly two and a half centuries, democracy was a cornerstone of American government and ideals. But when the 250th As our 50th birthday approaches, America finds itself at a turning point. The state of democracy is not only being questioned, it has become the center of a political tug-of-war. In 1776, Thomas Paine published his treatise Common Sense, making a compelling case for the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain and laying the foundation for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And in today’s turbulent times, Paine’s call to action still serves as a beacon for some, like trial attorney and former Assistant Attorney General of Massachusetts Steve Kramer. The son of a World War II prisoner of war, Kramer is committed to preserving America’s legacy of freedom for future generations. Kramer takes on the cause, offering a modern take on Paine’s philosophy in a thought-provoking new book.
In Common Sense to Save Democracy, Kramer adds contemporary context to Paine’s instructions. Kramer takes a critical stance on the current political tone and attempts to change the narrative and encourage greater political engagement.
Easy to read and concise, the book is a non-partisan, common sense guide that offers practical solutions to solve America’s existential crisis. Kramer offers a better vision for the future and suggests strategies to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen America’s democratic foundations. “America’s 250th “The birthday should be an opportunity to be proud of our democracy and the will of the people, but instead our country is polarized and vulnerable,” Kramer said. “I hope the book inspires readers to join the discussion and help save democracy.”
“Common Sense to Save Democracy” is available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
