An Eagle Unchained
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson.
Award winning author James R. Olson has crafted a novel warning America about a government out of control-an insatiable monster devouring our resources and our freedoms. Oppressive laws and regulations are forcing businesses to outsource jobs, or relocate entirely to less restrictive countries. Millions are unemployed as the middle class is fast slipping into poverty, leaving only two social groups; those dependent on government handouts and those bled dry to pay for social programs.
Only one man has the courage to stand against the establishment. Businessman Theodore Winston Hale commits his considerable fortune to establishing the American Party and financing his own Presidential campaign. He reaches out to a desperate nation with his message that more laws, more regulations, and more government is not the answer because an intrusive Federal government IS the problem.
The powerful elite controlling the nation's political machinery don't consider Ted Hale a threat to their power base until the American people begin responding to his message. Then they fight back with every dirty weapon in their arsenal. When those tactics prove ineffective in slowing Hale's momentum, the opposition turns to the ultimate weapon-assassination.
