Overview

A political book for non-political people from viral TikTok sensation PoliticsGirl.

Something's gone wrong in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We can all feel it, but if we're being honest, most of us don't understand it. At the end of the day, we don't have all the facts, and if you don't know how something works, how do you fix it?

A Return to Common Sense is a concise, no-nonsense, dare we say fun, guide to how America works and a roadmap to reclaiming a government of, by, and for the people.

If we truly want to be a land of freedom and opportunity where everyone has a shot at a good life, we must acknowledge the ideals of America are in danger, but worth saving. We fought a revolutionary war for the idea of self-governance and pursuit of happiness-we can't just give up on it now.

To address the crisis, Leigh McGowan offers Six American Principles. Six ideals, rooted in history, that we can all agree make America, America.

1. America is a land of freedom.
2. Everyone should have the opportunity to rise.
3. Every citizen should have a vote, and that vote should count.
4. Representatives should represent the people who elected them.
5. The law applies to all of us.
6. Government should be a force for good.

Using the Six Principles as guideposts, this book will lay out suggestions for America, to not only find its way out of the mess it's currently in, but to set a course for a future of which we can all be truly proud.

It's time to find the courage to step out of our comfort zones and off our team benches to reboot America. If we start here, we start strong.

We can fix this, but the way forward starts with understanding.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"This should be mandatory reading for every American. Some leaders sit in government centers, others speak directly to the people. Leigh speaks to us—not with promises, not with demands, not with some abstract agenda. She reminds us what America is and what it is to live and think and advocate as an American. This book is more than important. It is essential. Read it. Share it. Discuss it. And then, ideally, get involved.”
—Jason Alexander

"Leigh, like Thomas Paine before her, is one of America’s most effective communicators when it comes to the urgency of democracy and democratic reform. America needs this book! If we reimagined our nation along the lines of Leigh’s Six American Principles, we'd build a nation we really could all be proud of."
Thom Hartmann, New York Times bestselling author and America’s #1 progressive talk show host
