It is ten years into the future and the nation’s government is nearing financial and moral collapse. A small group (the TLR) believes deadly force is necessary to save individual liberty from the two-party political aristocracy that divides and controls Congress. They believe dictatorial powers will soon be claimed by the federal government. They announce to the nation … and ours is the only form of revolution now possible. But it has this advantage. If lives must be taken, only ours or those that have stolen our lives will be required to forfeit theirs.
They give Congress three days … to approve their proposed Term Limits Amendment to the Constitution that prevents professional politicians from serving in Congress. Or, unless they first resign, the long term incumbents will be term-limited in the only way they leave us.
The Department of Justice targets term limits supporters and libertarians in its hunt for the terrorist group. But when the first senator is “term-limited” in spite of all that federal authorities can do to stop it, it is clear the terrorists will not be easily found. They are inside the federal law enforcement agencies that are hunting them.
In this novel, I examine the issue that Thomas Jefferson predicted we would be forced to deal with. All three branches of our federal government have ignored the Constitutions protection of the individual’s rights. They have increased their own powers far beyond the limits provided in the Constitution. But what can we do about it? If our liberties, our right to make our own choices, are diminishing with every year, how do we ever regain them? Is deadly force justified?
