1776 - Commonsense - 2016

When a void in leadership exists, it is up to each one of us as American patriots to step forward and take point. This book is my attempt to temporarily fill that void. I offer commonsense reasoning in order to bring about honest discourse in an effort to create a unified purpose among ALL American citizens of every social class. We are all pink on the inside and we are all brothers and sisters in arms. We are concerned liberals and conservatives. We are red and we are blue. We are white, black, yellow and every color in between. Most of all, we are ALL Americans. WE are the only solution to OUR problems. It comes down to honest and forthright effective leadership, renewed national pride among our citizens, tolerance and respect of others, and a renewed effort to collaborate in order to win. Don't be a mindless sheep preyed upon by those who would rather divide us for their own personal gain. We are America and we will show the world what we can do.

As my father used to say, "Lean into 'er".

About the Author

Joseph Banta is the youngest of his nine brothers and sisters. He was raised on a farm in rural Pennsylvania where he learned the value of hard work, ethics, farming, carpentry, honor in his name and resourcefulness. Valuable life lessons in character and love of brethren were learned by closely observing the actions and consequences of those around him. He was taught that nothing replaces hard work, that your word is your bond, and you can be strong while also being compassionate. Joe would go on to serve in the armed forces, graduate from college, and become a respected personal trainer. He joined the military during the first Gulf War and has gone on to remain a professional security consultant. The most important item to note about the author is that he is known to think through and deliver diplomatic solutions to controversial situations.
