*Review by: Steve Dodsen from Amazon.com We can change what we’ve created!, September 15, 2002

I remember reading Orwell’s “1984″ and “The Tomorrow Files” by Lawrence Sanders and thinking this is great fiction, but what if they’re right? It seems as if we have and continue to create the types of societies that authors with foresight have been warning us about.

“My hat is off to …  Mr. Noyes for the courage to take a stand on making changes that are essential to our continued freedom and way of life.”

Not being very political, I see it happening and have always thought that I can’t do anything about the way we have been duped into thinking our two party system gives us choices.

“Restoring the Heart of America” not only discusses the problems our government has created, but offers real solutions for returning to a country of true freedom as outlined by our great forefathers. It is time to undo the damage that has been done, such as our dependency on foreign oil (or any oil, for that matter) and the way we have allowed large corporations to mold our future. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to stand behind leaders that will look out for the people, and not foreign entities and corporations with deep pockets.

At first, I thought that every Iowan should read this book so we can help lead our country in changing the world. I now urge all Americans to read this book and tell their friends to read it as well. It’s a book that is clear and easy to read and can do a great deal in restoring our faith that we have the ability to make changes for the good of all. My hat is off to Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Noyes for the courage to take a stand on making changes that are essential to our continued freedom and way of life. *(source: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A1QVDQATFKGLDD/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp)
