REAL "HOPE AND CHANGE": U. S. CONSTITUTION MAKES BESTSELLER LIST!

Just when you think that the country is on a road to hell paved with good intentions. Just when you think that there's no chance of recovering from the government's insanity. Just when you think that American are so mesmerized by the empty rhetoric of "hope and change," and have distanced themselves so far from the U. S. Constitution, that they're willing to accept false security in exchange for their liberty, along comes a bright light at the end of the tunnel. The past several months have been depressing to say the least.

Sure the Tea Party movement has been an indication that Americans are finally waking up and are fed up. Despite what the mainstream media reports, the tea parties are having a huge impact that will only grow larger. But yesterday, I ran across possibly an even greater, and unthinkable indicator of this awakening.

Here it is: The United States Constitution, along with the Declaration of Independence, is on the bestseller list! Is that good news or what? In the Washington Post, it's ranked #6 in the nation among non-fiction books. The Founding Fathers have made the bestseller list after all of these years!

The Post lists the two founding documents, bundled together in the same publication, that is available for $4.95 from the Cato Institute, the publisher of "The Pocket Constitution". The Cato Institute publication includes both the Bill of Rights and all of the amendments.

According to the Cato Institute:

"To encourage people everywhere to better understand and appreciate the principles of government that are set forth in America’s founding documents, the Cato Institute published this pocket edition (3.5" x 5") of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. With more than three million copies in print, this edition’s influence has been observed far and wide. It has been held up by senators at press conferences and by representatives during floor debate; found in federal judicial chambers across the country; appeared at conferences on constitutionalism in Russia, Iraq, and elsewhere; and sold at bookstores, U.S. Park Service stores, and other outlets nationwide."

I'm pleasantly surprised, not to mention extremely proud, that the American people would be flocking to the Constitution and Declaration in enough numbers to crack the bestseller list. This shows the extent to which people are feeling threatened, choked, smothered and frightened by the ever-expanding federal government. People are seeing and feeling their God-given rights infringed upon by the "benevolent" federal government, and are equipping and educating themselves to fight back. It couldn't happen at a better time.
