Handbook for We the People: A Primer on Strict Construction of the Constitution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692666081)

Protests all over the country as a manifestation of discontent of We the People began in February 2009. Too much government spending, bailouts, and federal government programs considered beyond the federal government's authority were the focus of these protests all over the country. Somehow the country had gone astray... In order to find out where we had gone wrong, Bobby researched websites to find like-minded countrymen. One website in particular had a constitution study group that opened his eyes. It was not hard to realize that with the form of government which our founders gave us, We the People were to be the keepers of our Constitution, and We were the responsible party. However, most voters had no clue as to the the limits We created for the federal government. After years of study on strict construction of the Constitution he decided to write The Handbook for We the People. Bob still considers himself to be just a student of the Constitution. This book is intended to aid students 17 years of age and older in learning what is actually written in the Constitution in hopes of filling our country with students, teachers, candidates, legislators, and voters who are Constitutionally literate and who understand the concept of enumerated powers. Bobby graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas in 1971 with a BBA in Business and married his sweetheart, Marilyn, the same year. He spent his college summers by manning the family shrimp boats in Galveston Bay catching shrimp for the family restaurant while taking flying lessons and obtaining his Private Pilot Certificate. Later he built and flew his own home-built aircraft, and still has a passion for all things related to flying.
