David Swanson discussing and signing his new book "Daybreak: Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union."
A LEADING PROGRESSIVE VOICE AND COFOUNDER OF THE ANTIWAR AFTER DOWNING STREET COALITION, BLOGGER AND ACTIVIST DAVID SWANSON FOCUSES his tireless efforts to unveil the wrongs of the past eight years in this citizen’s guide to removing power from the hands of one person, placing it in a body of representatives, and (here’s the hard part) making that body truly representative of the American people. Daybreak: Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union makes clear that the imperial presidency, which advanced so dramatically during the Bush-Cheney era, will not be stopped merely by electing better presidents. Major structural changes are needed to rein in runaway executive power and make America a true leader in democratic principles.
Only through the active efforts of citizens, Swanson argues, can we restore our rights, and expand our conception of political rights to meet new challenges. Daybreak offers a shocking and inspirational breakdown of all that we have lost, and all that we have to gain.
