ABOUT THE BOOK & THE AUTHOR

A Very Relevant Book For These Very Challenging Times!

It is clearly time for a change!  So if you are disturbed by the dysfunction and disharmony present within this nation; if you are disheartened and disappointed by the lack of effective and intelligent action being taken by our leaders and, of particular concern, by the absence of competence and consciousness they demonstrate, you will find the thought provoking ideas and practical recommendations presented in this new book by George Cappannelli of genuine interest.   Author of Authenticity and Say Yes To Change, George Cappannelli is a well-known corporate and political consultant and coach to a number of leading organizations, government agencies and the people who lead them.  He believes it is time that you, he and millions of other concerned citizens reclaim our sovereignty and renew the promises articulated in our Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and The Bill of Rights. He believe it is time we end this rapid and precipitous decline toward the end of a noble dream and once again set this ship of state on a heading toward a proud and positive future; it is time to initiate the next and necessary stage of The American Revolution.
