The gifts we inherited from our Founding Fathers are The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights: guidelines for peacefully living together. These democratic principles are based on values and needs, to guide our leaders in good times and bad.
We have also inherited unhealthy ideals and patterns from our ancestors who impact us still today and hold us hostage in the past, stuck in entitlement, racism, dominance, and inequality. Many of these ideals no longer serve us. We must reevaluate leadership and revisit our commitments to the American People.
RESTORE OUR DEMOCRACY is a reflection on history, political philosophy, and the current political and economic reality. The author takes a raw look at how our unconscious loyalty to the past continues to impact our society still, today. The book revisits the original values and principles of Democracy. Neff warns of the dangers of the current distortions of our democracy and calls it a covert betrayal on the American people.
