About the Author

NELSON GREGORY is a 72-year-old chemical engineer who is concerned that the US government -- all three branches -- has been encroaching on the rights of the individual and on freedom of all types with the possibility that the federal government will seize direct control over individuals without addressing rights. The author is a life-long Republican, and the book, he suggests, and gives examples, of how the GOP has abandoned its philosophy of balanced budget and other long-standing party beliefs. In the process, this has led to a situation where the government is willing to engage, militarily, its own citizens.
