The
premise of Stop the Insanity by David Welch puts forth
the idea that the government is as insane as the voters who send the
same representatives back time and time again. And as long as those
voters continue to reelect the same worthless politicians, the
insanity in Washington will continue.
There
is one other possible explanation: voters lack a reasonable
alternative. This suggests the voters are not actually insane, though
Washington politics are. Our two political parties are either unable
or unwilling to offer reasonable candidates. I suspect—and
hope—that is the case.
And
from that hope springs this book. I truly believe it is possible to
offer the voters an alternative: independent candidates for Congress
who will truly act in the best interest of our country and its
citizens.

Comments
“A
clearly and cogently argued plea for the world’s largest democracy
to start doing what a democracy is supposed to do, govern for and
with the people.”
“Every
American who is concerned about the dysfunctional mess we call a
government should read this book.”
“Your optimism is
applaudable, and I wish you luck with your efforts. There definitely
is insanity in Washington, and the career politicians need replacing.
Your use of plain language and real world examples makes this an easy
read, and your chapters are a manageable length.”
