Colorado Congressman Tom Tancrendo

In his Speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (March, 2007), Representative Tom Tancrendo exclaimed that he is running for office because of what he defines as first principles: 

I want to give voice to every conservative in this country unheard and unrepresented by the current slate of candidates.

I want to sound those first principles of our movement—freedom, security and dignity—as exclamation points in a campaign that’s full of hyphens and question marks.  I want to remind our party of the principles upon which all our past victories have been won. And I want to win them again.

More Praise for America's Survival Guide

"America's Survival Guide is a bold and insightful work that should be taken seriously by those concerned with the future of America. We ignore it at our peril."
Congressman Joe Knollenberg

“Judge Warren eloquently describes the amnesia affecting our democratic republic. The historical section provides a rich teaching resource for American history and civics. A must read for teachers and students alike.” – Amy Bloom, Oakland Schools History/Social Studies Consultant

“Finally!  Someone addresses the concerns many of us Americans have and approaches them from an apolitical point of view.  Michael Warren speaks from a position of reasoned authority and examines the U.S. landscape from politics, to the courts, to the schools, to the media.  This expert on law and education, does not leave the reader in a state of depression but rather offers potential solutions that all can embrace.  This is a book for all who hope for a better future in our country, and that should include all of us.”  Frank Beckmann, WJR 760 AM

“This book should be required reading in our public high schools. It is well-written, gathers the reader’s interest by establishing the danger that America is in, and provides an excellent discussion of our founding principles and why they are important. Michael Warren deserves high praise for his efforts in rescuing us from the disaster of ignorance of what it means to be an American.” – Gary Wolfram, Hillsdale College, George Munson Professor of Political Economy

“Our democracy’s survival rests upon our transmitting to each new generation the political vision of liberty and equality that unites us as Americans. Jefferson stated it best when he said, ‘If we expect in a state of civilization to be ignorant and free, we expect what never was and never will be.’ Michael Warren is a true modern patriot whose efforts in education are one way to build a strong democracy for our future.” – J. Kelli Sweet, Michigan Council for the Social Studies, Executive Director
