Columns of Democracy
Democracies are under attack in many countries including our own. Wannabe dictators feel threatened by democracies’ existence. Their destructive efforts are abetted by democracies’ citizen apathy. This book examines the institutions, the “columns” that support democracy. They include such institutions as independent media, K-12 and higher education, respected, independent judges, accessible voting systems, and public libraries. These institutions support both an active citizenry and meaningful checks on executives’ abuses. This book calls Americans to action – with suggestions. It also contains the author’s “columns” – an example of citizen use of the column of democracy called media.

Nick is a local favorite where I live in Johnson County, Iowa. I especially appreciate the education in tax increment financing he provided. Every blogger I know has thought about making such a book of 400-700 word posts. Nick promoted his book at a recent Veterans for Peace event and I bought it to support a local author. Money well spent.
