The Cost of Standing Up

US Senator and now independent candidate for President, Nick Turner continues to defy the odds. Running a grass-roots campaign for the most expensive to acquire and coveted job in the world.

Having successfully assembled a team of castoffs and neophytes, he barnstorms the states. Talking to anyone willing to stand still long enough to listen. Delivering his message of self-reliance, personal responsibility, and common sense to larger and larger crowds. His simple question to everyone: Does any of what is happening make sense to you? The answer? A resounding NO!

After a contentious set of Party and Opposition conventions, Nick emerges, still an independent candidate, but now clearly an enemy of both campaigns. He must now be crushed. His strategy of trying to fly below the radar will no longer work.

Now a target for all manner of attack from these powerful elites and their willing allies in the American Pravda media, Nick fends off attacks from all directions while desperately trying to get his message to more voters.

As the stakes rise and the calendar turns toward fall and the upcoming election, will Nick be able to survive the increased scrutiny and the endless supply of money and dirty tricks the political parties deploy to destroy their opponents?

As October nears, everyone in presidential politics knows something is coming.

The third book of the Nick Turner saga continues to tell the story of how an unknown college professor is appointed to the Senate and votes against his party to preserve the values and ideals of our 250-year-old Constitution.

Upon realizing how power and money have corrupted the ideals on which the country was founded, he then decides on a Quixotic run for President with one goal. To educate citizens on what they have to lose by not standing up to have a say in how they are governed. 

Like the Sons of Liberty in Boston in the 1770s, now is our time to stand against the tyranny of the minority in charge. This time elites in Washington, not a king in London. What is at stake is nothing less than Benjamin Franklin quipping, "A Republic. If you can keep it." It is our choice. To do nothing or to stand up and preserve it, no matter the cost of standing up.
