[What This Country Needs — A New Political Party][1], is a new book by [John F. Kimberling][2] From the website.

An obscure U.S. vice-president once said “What this country needs is a good five cent cigar”. But in this frank, outspoken book, author John Kimberling argues that what this country really needs is a new political party. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have failed the American people.

What This Country Needs refuses to accept that powerful political and financial forces can take our country away from us. It lays out a blueprint for a new third party to give the voters the tools they need to reshape the political process and point the way in a new direction and to a better future for all of us. I’m reading this book now and I’ll be sure to let Jack, the author know where I think he’s right and where I think he’s not. Disclaimer, Jack is my next-door neighbor and a friend.
