Nice note on Collapse sent to me
I read your book; it is excellent. I doubt many who read it expect a feel good warm fuzzy. Those with the situational awareness to recognize that their instincts are on fire and the courage to ask themselves what they can do will be well served by your concise and well written analysis. Your synopsis of where we are as a nation and how we got here is brief and well thought out. It is what we do next that is critical, and it is there you have given the reader a compass. Fair winds and following seas to a better future for our beloved country than many of us currently see on the horizon. Semper Fidelis. You are a true patriot. --Dean.

Excerpt: Michele Bachmann led the charge against the co-frontrunners she termed “Newt Romney” at Saturday night’s debate, elbowing her way into the spotlight and forcing her rivals to engage with her. That’s a marked change for the Minnesota congresswoman, who tumbled in the polls after winning the Ames Straw Poll in August and had trouble getting the race to focus on her since. As part of Bachmann’s effort to tie the frontrunners together and contrast herself, she came charging at Newt Gingrich for supporting an individual health insurance mandate, backing cap and trade and working as a lobbyist after leaving Congress.
