Bestselling author and national conservative leader Jim DeMint believes that by making America small again - by turning to family and community, we can rebuild our great nation FROM THE GROUND UP.

While the big federal government, irresponsible big-spending states and big crony capitalists are pushing our nation toward a collapse of our economic and monetary systems, Jim DeMint's book, FROM THE GROUND UP, will show Americans how to rebuild our economy and culture through grass roots efforts.

The prescription for an American comeback is for responsible states and citizens to work together to remove the death grip of government from the throats of taxpayers, institute school choice at the state level, decentralize healthcare delivery, open energy reserves, cut government spending, lower taxes, and protect traditional values and institutions. This book demonstrates how small, decentralized governments and private sector entities can be more effective and efficient, featuring numerous examples of states, communities, families, churches, businesses and voluntary organizations that are currently succeeding on the model that smaller is better. Every American can be a part of the rebuilding of America on the foundations that made us the greatest nation in the world and it begins FROM THE GROUND UP.
