What Would Our Founding Fathers Do?
“The New Founders” Book Explores How
Our Country’s Founders Would Handle Today’s Polarized
Washington
Los
Angeles, Calif. (August 29, 2012) — If he were alive
today, what would George Washington think about the United States of America?
What would the likes of Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Hamilton and the Adams
cousins say and do about the state of our nation? These compelling questions and
more are tackled in The New Founders, a new novel written by Joseph
Connor and Michael Duncan, with a Foreword by Dick Morris. (Published by Dunham
Books). The book will be available in both trade paperback and ebook
formats.
In The
New Founders, authors Connor and Duncan bring the father of our country back
to life in modern day America. With a blend of humor, intrigue and imagination,
The New Founders takes readers of all ages on an adventure with the
Founding Fathers as present day people. In the book, six unsuspecting Americans
are drawn together in Philadelphia. While touring Independence Hall, a
mysterious man dressed in colonial garb takes both our tour group and readers on
a crash course in US history and a whirlwind tour of our nation’s capital. Our
powdered wig friend turns out to be George Washington, reintroduced into today’s
world. With his tour group in tow, he evokes the spirit of the founders and
explains how the principles that built this great nation need to be applied
today in order to save it. Our founding fathers’ reactions are recorded as they
witness the growth of our federal government, today’s volatile political
environment, massive federal debt and economic malaise.
Readers will
be amazed that many of the today’s challenges were foreseen and addressed over
two hundred years ago by this select group of men. Authors Connor and Duncan lay
out a thesis for every American to consider: How would Washington react to
today’s “entangling alliances?” Would Jefferson and Madison now be comfortable
with either party? How would Hamilton, the apostle of a strong central
government, react to modern America featuring a Washington-centric system? What
would the first Secretary of State have to say about the United States, its
fiscal policies and staggering debt load? Although fictional, the authors spent
considerable time researching documents, speeches and writings, and other
historical sources, providing accurate reactions from each of our founding
fathers.
The book not
only gives the reader a better understanding of democratic ideas, but proves
that our Founding Fathers still have much to teach us.
