"How can we, everyday Americans who have lost control of our government, get it back for ourselves and our children?



America's government may or may not be too large, but it is clearly too far removed from its ordinary citizens. Rather than responding to us, it answers instead to special-interests' high-paid lobbyists, entrenched bureaucrats, and its own politically-elite class of perpetual officeholders.



In this his third book, Bob Savage details specific steps our nation should take to realign our massively-bloated federal government and thereby move control of our lives and personal fates much closer to each of us as citizens.



His ideas draw on experiences and education including four years in Washington, DC, as an officer/engineer for our then-newly emerging nuclear navy, almost thirty years of management in marketing and economics with the Bell System, and over two decades as owner (with his wife) and operator of a successful small retail business. During those years, Bob worked for or closely with the US Atomic Energy Commission, major defense contractors in shipbuilding and electronics, the University of Florida, NASA and the US Air Force, and the Public Service Commissions of FL, GA, NC, and SC. He was BellSouth's Account Manager to the Kennedy Space Center during the Apollo/Saturn moon landings, a nationwide pricing manager for AT&T, and later a manager in that company's historic breakup and the principal pricing expert testifying in over thirty major telephone rate cases.
