An older family man, from the middle class, self-made millionaire, John Fairweather has decided to run for President of the United States on a platform consisting of ten bills that will change the face of politics and governing in the US, bills that will “put a leash on Congress.” Resurrecting Our Democracy: A Memoir follows Fairweather’s journey as he runs as an Independent and secures the support of the people. And though the last thing Congress wants is to pass his bills, Fairweather finds a way to force them to listen to what the American people want. Though a fictional account, the author hopes this story will pique the interests of voters and help make some changes to our government. The author says, “I want my readers to take away the realization that our democracy is rotting in its laurels. We don't have to go the way of the Roman Empire. We can unite and use our votes to legally revive our democracy—to reach the unreachable star!”
