"We the People" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498408806)

About the author... Henry Leissing is uniquely qualified to write on this complex subject of the US Constitution, its' historical antecedents, and the present-day threats to the freedoms once secured and assured by it. Henry has served as an inner-city minister, founded a feeding program for the poor of St. Louis, was mayor of a mid-western city, worked with numerous non-profit organizations, and since retirement has earned a doctorate in law. He is a life-long student of history, theology, government, and law. A frequent speaker on the subject of early founding of America, Henry sounds an alarm about erosions of freedoms due to out-of control federal government encroachments Henry's thesis advisor in law school first recognized the potential for this book, which grew from a research paper on the Tenth Amendment. Now, with rarely cited footnotes and resources, Henry's book will take its place among those of previous scholars, whose deepest passion has been the on-going education of the American people on their heritage, their rights, and their sober responsibilities to continue to secure these sacred rights for the next generation. This book is the first of three. The second book, "We the People: Defending Our Constitutional Voice" will be followed by the third book, "We the People: Demanding Our Constitutional Voice". A hefty section in the Appendix spotlights "Sentinels of Freedom" which Henry says have been posted throughout the constitution to protect the freedom of the people and the sovereignty of the states.
