When Ken Buck first arrived in Washington, he believed what most Americans believe.

He believed Congress debated the issues that mattered, wrote the nation’s laws, and answered to the people who elected them.

Like millions of Americans, he understood that politics could be messy and compromise could be frustrating. But he also believed the system, however imperfect, was still working the way the Founders intended.

Nearly a decade later, he left with a very different understanding.

After serving five terms in Congress, sitting on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and watching three presidential administrations govern from inside the halls of power, Buck reached a troubling conclusion:

Washington quietly took control of your money, your healthcare, your children’s education, and even the news you’re allowed to see.

The speeches on the House floor make the evening news. Presidential press conferences dominate the headlines. Election campaigns consume billions of dollars and capture the nation’s attention every four years.

But behind those familiar images, Buck says, another Washington quietly goes about its work.

It is a vast network of federal agencies, regulators, career bureaucrats, commissions, consultants, and special interests that continue to operate long after the television cameras have disappeared.

Administrations come and go. Political parties rise and fall. Yet the machinery of government keeps turning, issuing regulations, expanding programs, spending trillions of taxpayer dollars, and reaching ever deeper into the daily lives of ordinary Americans.

But who really benefits as Washington grows larger and more powerful? Who profits from the endless expansion of government? And why do so many insiders seem to thrive while the taxpayers who fund it all are left paying the bill?

Most citizens never see it.

Ken Buck did.

Discover What Ken Buck Learned From
Nearly a Decade Inside Congress

Buck spent nearly ten years trying to understand why.

As a Congressman, he attended committee hearings, reviewed legislation, questioned agency officials, and watched enormous spending packages move through Congress at astonishing speed.

The deeper Buck looked, the more he noticed the same pattern repeating itself.

Programs introduced as temporary became permanent.

Rather than focusing on one issue or one administration, Buck follows the trail wherever it leads. He examines how Washington spends taxpayer dollars, how regulations are created after legislation is passed, why bureaucracies continue growing regardless of which party controls Congress, and how institutions originally created to serve the public gradually became increasingly insulated from public accountability.

Bureaucracies continued expanding.

Every new crisis seemed to produce the same solution:  More spending. More regulations. More government.

At first, Buck believed these were isolated problems. Over time, he came to believe they were connected. That realization became the foundation for Wake Up, America!.

The result is more than a political book.

It’s an insider’s investigation into how Washington really works, and why Buck believes the gap between the government Americans think they have and the government that actually exists has grown far wider than most people realize.

And once Buck began pulling on that thread . . . He discovered the story was much bigger than even he expected.

That’s why every American who cares about the future of this country should read Wake Up, America!.

Take advantage of this special offer and discover what Ken Buck uncovered from inside the halls of Congress.

As Buck dug deeper, seemingly unrelated issues began pointing to the same troubling pattern.

• Why were federal agencies growing larger regardless of which party controlled Congress?
• Why did massive spending bills become increasingly difficult for lawmakers themselves to read before voting on them?
• How had unelected bureaucracies accumulated so much influence over healthcare, education, banking, energy, and countless other areas of American life?
• Why did government programs introduced as “temporary” so often become permanent?

And perhaps most important . . . 

If Washington continues moving in this direction, what will America look like ten or twenty years from now?

In Wake Up, America!, Buck doesn’t simply offer political opinions.

He takes readers behind closed doors from his years on Capitol Hill to show them what he witnessed firsthand, what he learned during nearly a decade in Washington, and why he believes every American should understand how the machinery of government really works.

What he witnessed convinced him the American people deserved to know the truth. In this book, Buck asks a question every taxpayer should be asking:

How did a government, created to protect liberty, become so large, so expensive, and so deeply involved in nearly every aspect of American life?

It didn’t happen overnight.

There wasn’t a single vote that fundamentally changed America.

No single law explains it.

Instead, Buck believes, it happened gradually, through thousands of decisions, countless regulations, endless spending bills, and a growing belief that every problem, no matter how large or how small, could somehow be solved by giving Washington a little more authority than it had before.

Most Americans can see the symptoms.

The national debt continues climbing into territory that once seemed unimaginable. Healthcare costs keep rising despite repeated promises that reform would lower them. Parents watch schools spend more money while student performance falls. Small businesses struggle to navigate regulations that seem to multiply every year. Entire government agencies exist that many taxpayers have never heard of, yet billions of dollars continue flowing through them year after year.

The problems are obvious.

The causes are far less so.

In Wake Up, America!, Buck takes you inside his search for those answers and reveals what he discovered along the way.

Along the way, you’ll discover . . . 

• Why Buck believes some of the most important decisions affecting your life are made by people you’ve never elected.
• The surprising way thousands of pages of federal regulations can quietly reshape entire industries, and why most Americans never realize it’s happening.
• Why Washington seems incapable of spending less, no matter which political party controls Congress.
• What Buck learned about permanent bureaucracy after serving nearly a decade on Capitol Hill.
• Why he believes America’s growing national debt represents far more than an economic problem.
• The connection Buck sees between government spending, regulation, education, healthcare, immigration, and the expanding role of Washington in everyday life.
• Why Buck believes the greatest expansion of government power happened so gradually that most Americans never noticed it.

These are just a few of the eye-opening discoveries waiting inside Wake Up, America!.
