FOREWORD

In our quest to understand the ramifications of public policy, political rhetoric, and government laws, it helps to have an interpreter. Such a person is Leonard A. Semas. He is a gifted writer. He has passion for the future of our country and he respects our constitutional liberties. The essays that he has penned over the years for the Sierra Sage are priceless and have given me a rich resource for my speaking engagements around the country.


Like many Americans, I am concerned with the liberal direction our country has taken. Our country was founded on a simple concept of freedom. It is freedom we love, respect and fight for. It is freedom we too often take for granted and it is freedom we are slowly losing. Freedom was not given to us by government; it was given by God. Government was created by man to protect that God-given freedom. Although our freedom and liberty are under attack, too many feel helpless to defend, stand up, or express themselves. With Reason, Justice and Common Sense, Len Semas speaks for many who care. This book will give readers clear words to help them understand and logically defend our freedoms.
