The Declaration

by William Hirsch

It Can Happen Here. In The Declaration, it does. When Governor Brewster Steele sees the Constitution being torn to shreds, an exploding national debt spelling certain financial ruin, and the country sinking into the morass of social decay, he vows to not let his beloved Texas go down with it, no matter the risk. An assassin's bullet, an attack on a Chief Justice, cyber-slander, and overt defiance of Washington set the wheels in motion in a spellbinding race through what might be the revolution some Americans fear while others pray for. In the tradition of Sinclair Lewis and Allen Drury, nationally best selling author William Hirsch has created The Declaration, a hauntingly powerful novel that dares to ask the when government goes too far, what must citizens do? Democracy and freedom require constant vigilance, now more than ever. In The Declaration, discover what happens when a President sees himself as above the law…and a nation tries to free itself from his unrighteous grasp on the levers of power. It’s not just a novel. It’s a warning of what could happen…and sooner than we think.

An interesting fictional take on the current situation in our country. Lots of action to keep you reading, characters are well defined. I enjoyed the twists as the story unraveled. Purchase at Amazon.com as a paperback or the kindle edition.

The split between the political parties gets wider and the states want the burden of Federal mandates without attached funding lifted. President Sanchez will do whatever he needs to do to maintain power and get reelected. Governor Brewster Steele needs to pull Texas out of its downward spiral.

The constitution is stretched to its breaking limits.

Engaging from the beginning! This is a compelling read,characters are well developed and the plot is realisitc. I keep thinking about the things that occur, and hope that it remains just a story.

A realistic picture of where this country is headed if we don't address our serious fiscal problems. Big gov't is not the answer. A good read!
