Jamie Williams has fought against corruption, war, and oppression all his life. A former campus radical, he publishes the newsletter, Uncommon Sense. Middle age has banked some of his fire, but not his values. And it has taught him that if he wants his voice to be heard, it has to be reasoned and balanced. Perceived by both the media and many within his administration as weak and indecisive, President Marshall Thornberry has yet to find his public voice. He knows he's in the Oval Office only because the powerful right wing of his party selected him as a face that people would find acceptable, and it is they who've wielded the power during his first two years in office. A fragile economy exacerbated by corporate greed, unchecked militarism, terrorism, and out-of-control energy prices, has left millions of Americans feeling powerless and disenfranchised. A new Internal Security Agency is eroding civil liberties, and there are rumors of a secret military initiative in Africa. And behind the scenes, a sinister cabal of conspirators within the administration led by a paranoid Attorney General has devised a scheme to misrepresent public sentiment and manipulate the President even further. With an uncanny nose for trouble, Jamie perceives that big changes are afoot and Uncommon Sense is needed more than ever. His newsletter has a loyal following, but it's growing too slowly to make a difference. Americans needed to hear his voice...if only there were a way to reach them.
