Debora Georgatos never planned to be an author.  She loves her life’s journey so far — from an employment litigation attorney in California, to wife and stay-at-home mother of three, and volunteer in the kids’ schools and in community organizations, and from being a New Yorker to a Californian to a D.C. resident to becoming a Texan. She’d always been a passionate student of American history, an intuitively feisty defender of equality for women and everyone in American society, and a generally outspoken leader. Like many American women (and men), she had been enjoying the benefits of liberty and life in America, but also taking them for granted.

But within the last several years she observed, as have many others, that not all American politicians today are presenting competing views within the guardrails of basic American ideals, such as respect for the uniqueness of America as a nation founded on rights from our Creator that government exists to protect, and commitment to government that derives its limited power from the consent of the governed, and that serves to protect and defend family and freedom, and that honors the vital connection between work and reward, virtue and happiness.

The jolting truth she and many others see is that America is in the midst, right now, of an intellectual and political war over what America will be in the future. This war is between those who support our traditional freedom and individual liberty on the one side, and those working to create a large and powerful central government that destroys that freedom, on the other. Debbie sees that “other” side as far too close to the famously described

..government big enough to give you everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have…

Debbie and her husband decided that 10, 20 and even 40 years from now, they could not live with themselves, or face their children and grandchildren, if they could not honestly say that, when the goodness and greatness of America was so clearly under assault, they stood up, and spoke up.

Debora Georgatos began by working in political campaigns, as a message shaper and all around supporter (volunteer and paid), and as an activist in women’s political organizations. She worked writing for blogs. But she then felt impelled to pour her passion into writing this book– designed to inspire other women to get engaged in the battle to protect America’s future.
