Is It Too Late for America to Get

‘Back to the Basics’?

I wrote a book in 1988 called, America: Back to the

Basics. It looked at how to get back to the basics of

things: how America was formed to be in the beginning.

It was the election year of George

Busch Sr. and Michael Dukakis.

I got on a lot of T.V. and radio talk

shows with my motto:

“Campaigning for America,

Not for Political Office”

The book didn’t sell as well as I hoped it would.

Although I got a lot of press, and was on a lot of talk

shows, and LOTS of people called in wanting to talk,

I only sold about half the books I’d hoped to.

Afterwards, I had an advertising consultant look at

what I’d done and give me his opinion. He was a client
of mine, and didn’t charge me. Again, lawyers like the

word ‘free,’ although they don’t use it much in their own
business.
