America is at a pivotal crossroads. The soul of our nation is at stake and in peril. A new public narrative is needed to unite Americans around common values and to counter the increasing discord and acrimony in our politics and culture. The process of healing and creating a more perfect union in our nation must start now. The moral vision of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Beloved Community, which animated and galvanized the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, provides a hopeful way forward. In A More Perfect Union, Adam Russell Taylor, president of Sojourners, reimagines a contemporary version of the Beloved Community that will inspire and unite Americans across generations, geographic and class divides, racial and gender differences, faith traditions, and ideological leanings. In the Beloved Community, neither privilege nor punishment is tied to race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or economic status, and everyone is able to realize their full potential and thrive. Building the Beloved Community requires living out a series of commitments, such as true equality, radical welcome, transformational interdependence, E Pluribus Unum ("out of many, one"), environmental stewardship, nonviolence, and economic equity. By building the Beloved Community we unify the country around a shared moral vision that transcends ideology and partisanship, tapping into our most sacred civic and religious values, enabling our nation to live up to its best ideals and realize a more perfect union.

Race, from the beginning and more than any other element, has shaped America's institutions, its economics, politics, laws, social structures, and political attitudes. Congressman Jackson considers race to be the focal point of America through the language of the economy because "the economy is the hearing aid through which Americans hear all political dialogue." In this thought provoking work, Jackson provides ample documentation and insightful analysis of the inextricable link between race and economics. More important Jackson proposes a radical economic strategy and program of new human rights that would build A More Perfect Union for all Americans and put them in a better position to come to grips with this enduring American legacy.

For Freedom and Democracy (The Unloved Letters of a Likeable Libertarian) is a series of letters that were moderated, reviewed, censored or automatically published on the Daily Telegraph blog site in response to various articles written by the esteemed journalists therein. Commenting on the various topics of the changing political situation, its twists, turns and deceits, they focus chiefly on the rise of UKIP, the decline of David Cameron PM (Pre-Mortem), his Europhile buccaneers, and last but not least, the emergence of the dominating, corrupt and undemocratic European Union. These witty, serious, succinct, detailed and on occasion humorous letters, chart the duplicities of both the Press, and the people they claim to criticise and report, with a blunt and curt analysis of the current contemporary political situation. The letters reflect the decline of national state democracy, the emergence of politically correct bigotry, and the rise of the European autocratic mega state.
