Responsibility Reborn

by John Andrews

Overview

John Andrews’ RESPONSIBILITY REBORN: A Citizen’s Guide to the Next American Century, is perfectly timed as conservatives ask themselves "What next?" after the gains of 2010 and look to the battles of 2012. His theme -- the understanding of individual responsibility, personal freedom and the role of law in protecting both -- has been at the center of American democracy since the Founding. Unfortunately, today most Americans cannot articulate the fundamental precepts of our republic nor its philosophical and legal underpinnings. The former Colorado state senator and presidential speechwriter's new book strikes at the heart of this failure and emphasizes the danger government poses to a citizenry ignorant of its responsibilities. Particularly at a moment when personal liberty is giving way to an ever-expanding government, Mr. Andrews’ book will resonate with a wide audience that must take an active and self reliant role in shaping our future. As we approach the 2012 elections Responsibility Reborn will provide a key foundation as you weigh critical issues and evaluate the candidates that will set the course the next American century. Responsibility Reborn is a must read for those Americans passionate about maintaining our founding values and our exceptional and unique role in the world.

In past years he served as President of the Colorado Senate, helped enact his state’s widely-imitated Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and founded the Independence Institute, a leading national voice for liberty.

Andrews does daily commentary for Colorado Public Television, writes for the Denver Post, and originated Backbone Radio. As a for­mer chairman of State Policy Network, he consults widely for legis­lative leaders.

Earlier John was a speechwriter for President Nixon, an appoin­tee of President Ronald Reagan and President George W. Bush—and he ran for Governor of Colorado as the Republican nominee in 1990. He also launched TCI Cable News, served as editor of Imprimis at Hillsdale College, and was a senior executive with two Christian ministries.
