Now, do not misunderstand me, America is great.
But we are fed up with being over-taxed and over-regulated. We are tired of being told how much salt to put on our food, what kind of cars we can drive, what kinds of guns we can own, what kind of prayers we are allowed to say and where we can say them, what we are allowed to do to elect political candidates, what kind of energy we can use, what doctor we can see. What kind of nation are we becoming? I fear it’s the very kind the Colonists fought against.
But perhaps most of all, we are fed up because deep down we know how great America has always been, how many great things the people do in spite of their government, and how great the nation can be in the future if government will just get out of the way.
Our fight is clear. We must step up and retake the reins of our government from a Washington establishment that has abused our trust. We must empower states to fight for our beliefs, elect only leaders who are on our team, set out to remind our fellow Americans why liberty is guaranteed in the Constitution, and take concrete steps to take back our country. The American people have never sat idle when liberty’s trumpet sounds the call to battle — and today that battle is for the soul of America.
**Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington - A Call to Action from Rick Perry** Are you tired of government overreach? Do you believe in the power of individual liberty and the strength of states' rights? In "Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington," former Texas Governor Rick Perry delivers a passionate and provocative call to action, urging Americans to reclaim their country from what he sees as an overbearing and intrusive federal government. Published in 2010, "Fed Up!" captures the rising tide of frustration felt by many Americans who believed Washington was increasingly out of touch with their values and needs. Perry, known for his conservative principles and strong stance on limited government, argues that the federal government had expanded far beyond its constitutional boundaries, encroaching on individual freedoms and stifling economic growth. The book lays out Perry's vision for a revitalized America, one where states have greater autonomy to govern themselves, where individual liberty is fiercely protected, and where free markets flourish without undue government intervention. He critiques policies he believes are detrimental to American prosperity and outlines specific steps Americans can take to restore the balance of power between the federal government and the states. "Fed Up!" isn't just a political critique; it's a personal manifesto. Perry shares anecdotes from his own experience as Governor of Texas, highlighting the successes of a state that prioritized limited government, low taxes, and a business-friendly environment. He champions the Texas model as a blueprint for national renewal, arguing that by empowering states to innovate and compete, America can unleash its full potential. Perry addresses a wide range of issues, from taxation and regulation to healthcare and education, offering his conservative perspective on each. He voices concerns over what he saw as the erosion of traditional American values and the growing influence of special interests in Washington. His writing resonates with those who feel their voices are not being heard by the political establishment. While some may disagree with Perry's political views, "Fed Up!" remains a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of government in American life. It offers a compelling argument for decentralization, individual responsibility, and a return to the principles of limited government that the Founding Fathers envisioned. Whether you're a staunch conservative or simply curious about alternative perspectives, "Fed Up!" provides a thought-provoking and engaging read. This First Edition hardcover offers a tangible piece of political history, capturing a pivotal moment in American political discourse. If you are interested in the conservative political movement, or want to understand the context of decentralization of government, then this book is for you!
