Synopsis
This is a story about the pursuit of freedom and individual expression. Freedom requires risk, responsibility and a peculiar kind of human energy. That energy has been stifled, and we have become dependent and highly regulated citizens, enslaved by the unfunded liabilities and huge debt burdens caused by the expansion of government at all levels. But there is a solution. The Candidate begins in 1996 when two teachers and eleven representatives of their respective high schools illustrate another, more efficient way to use the resources in their communities. In 2011, it picks up again when ten members of the original group come together and persuade one of their colleagues to run for political office. They have heated discussions as they pursue their grandiose plans. Rumors fly and romances are suspected, and they are both frustrated and gleeful; however, through it all they stick together, bound by their shared vision of what it should mean to be an American.Book Details
