[First Edition] Saving Freedom: We Can Stop America's Slide into Socialism [VINTAGE 2009] [FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING] DeMint, Jim (former U.S. 73.18 CAD As new condition navy blue boards with silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Praise for Saving Freedom; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Declaration of Independence; The Constitution of the United States and Notes. Illustrated with graphs and chart. "Now is the time for Americans to decide, once again, to fight for freedom. The United States - the world's great bastion of freedom - is sliding toward socialism. High profile bailouts and a stimulus bill have toppled the walls between government and private sectors. Federal control now extends in various ways to education, health car, financial markets, real estate, businesses, and religion. And as out-of-control government spending and debt increase, America is drained of the economic and political strength its people fought for and worked so hard to achieve. But it isn't too late to save the land of the free. Saving Freedom is U.S. Senator Jim DeMint's firsthand account of the unsettling socialist shift, backed by a complete action plan to reclaim America's freedom based on legislation that would reduce debt, fix Social Security, and provide a tax credit for every family. He also emphasizes reversing America's cultural decline by restoring a strong spirit of faith, family, and freedom." - from the rear outer jacket. "My wife and four children traveled to D.C. to watch from the House gallery as I took the oath of office. The oath was a simple pledge to defend the Constitution. I rarely heard the Constitution spoken of again. It was never used as justification for legislation because there was little we did that fit within the limited powers of the federal government specified by the Constitution. The principle that has been lost by today's politicians is limited government. When our legislators ignore the limits established by the Constitution, there is no limit to government at all. Many Americans want out of this abusive marriage with the federal government.As I've traveled this nation, thousands of Americans have confirmed this fact; many grabbing my arm, asking with passion and urgency, "How can I help?" Americans will fight for their freedom, but we need leaders who will show the way. We need a clear vision and a pathway out of our dependency. We need to understand how to translate our values and principles into policies that will reduce the government stranglehold on our beliefs, our economy, and our lives. We must believe freedom will work for everyone. And we need to know the true enemy of freedom: socialism. - U.S. Senator Jim Demint" - from the inner front jacket flap. "Once again, as we did in 1776, Americans must choose between freedom and oppression. In Saving Freedom, Jim DeMint describes he clear and present danger posed by big government - and what we must do to preserve individual liberty and personal responsibility. Every American needs to read this book." - Sean Hannity. "Saving Freedom is a new Declaration of Independence...

"The heroes you've never heard of . They were trained for and dedicated to saving lives and preventing disasters at sea, but they were needed for war. And between 1941 and 1944, the officers and crews of the U.S. Coast Guard undertook one of the most difficult and dangerous tasks any group of sailors has ever had to face -- escorting convoys of merchant ships filled with desperately needed supplies from the United States to Europe, across a U-boat-infested Atlantic." -- from the rear outer jacket. "In November 1941 America was not yet officially at war. Nevertheless, under orders from President Roosevelt, sailors of the U.S. Coast Guard painted their gleaming white cutters battleship gray and steamed into action against the menacing U-boats of the Third Reich. Blodstained Sea recounts how, over the next four years, these men -- normally dedicated to saving lives and resuing ships in distress -- would be locked in one of the longest and bloodiest running sea battles in history. Americans called it Torpedo Junction; to the Germans, it was Devil's Gorge. By any name, the North Atlantic of the early 1940s was one of the most dangerous fronts in a catastrophic war.
