The Conservative Revolution
Why We Must Form a Third Political Party to Win It
By Nelson Hultberg
Softcover, 189 pgs., $14.95

Conventional wisdom maintains that third political parties in America cannot work. This is a fallacy; and the reason why is that all third parties throughout the past century (like the Libertarians and Perot's Reformers) have been built upon two disastrous flaws that automatically doom them to failure. But correct these two fundamental errors and a powerfully effective third-party could be fashioned -- not a fringe party that preaches utopianism to the choir, but a REAL third-party that poses a threat to the status quo.

The Conservative Revolution identifies and corrects the "two fundamental errors" that have doomed all third parties in the past, and it explains why a third-party is the only solution to stopping the runaway freight train of government growth. Those who preach that we must, at all costs, eschew third-party efforts and "remain within the GOP" are captives of a myth that is contributing greatly to the stultification of America. This book shatters the myth and outlines a revolutionary political strategy (never before envisioned in history) that will unite all conservatives, libertarians, and independents into one party -- the CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN PARTY.

The key to the party's success will be its unique "two pillars" of tax and monetary reform that will end progressive tax rates and stop the Fed's ruinous inflation policies, which are the tools that Washington uses to expand its power. The CAP flat-tax plan goes beyond the Forbes plan and the AFT sales tax. It will lower rates to 10% for everyone, simplify tax preparation to 10 minutes every April, bring back millions of jobs from overseas, dramatically restore the economic productivity of our nation; and because of the way the tax plan is structured, it will stop the growth of the Federal Government cold and begin its automatic reduction.

Imagine a government that is relentlessly shrinking every year instead of relentlessly expanding!! The CAP tax plan will do it, which will get the Conservative American Party the necessary 15% in the polls to qualify for the national TV election debates where it can then challenge the obtuseness and corruption of the Democrats and Republicans in front of 70 million viewers. This has never been done in the 48 year history of the debates. Getting a freedom party into this forum will electrify America and profoundly change the political paradigm of our country for the good.

Here are just a few of the valuable insights that you will find in The Conservative Revolution:

• What the "Two Pillars Strategy" is and how it will revolutionize American politics in its challenge to the Demopublican elites.
• How the Two Pillars Strategy will increase the standard of living of every American anywhere from 6% to 30% annually.
• What the "root causes" are of the economic crisis now upon us, and why we must have a viable third-party in place to properly climb out of it.
• How the Fed steals hundreds of billions of dollars from the American people every year, and how to stop this outrageous theft immediately.
• How the federal government is cooking the books just like Enron did so as to hide the truth from the people.
• What the crucial "tax key" is that, once enacted, will reverse the culture of spending in Washington and end the tyrannical growth of government.
• What the Founding Fathers advised regarding immigration, and how to easily stop illegal aliens from swarming into America.
• The real reason our manufacturing jobs are leaving America to go overseas and how to end this travesty.
• How to confront the threat of terrorism without destroying our basic freedoms as the liberals and neo-conservatives are doing.
• Why Republicans always get corrupted in Washington and lose their stomach for a freedom fight; why they will always do so, and thus why the GOP can never stop government growth and restore freedom.

Recent polls show that 40% of Americans consider themselves to be politically "conservative," and 40% consider themselves to be politically "independent." It is these Americans who will find in TCR a powerful inspiration and hope for the future. The book is written in accessible prose for the educated layman. It is a paean to the original America -- the real America -- and is laced throughout with inspirational passages that testify to her unique concept of freedom.

The time has come to form a third-party that has the ability to make a difference. The revolutionary "Two Pillars Strategy" outlined in TCR will be big time, TV-oriented, major league politics. It will restore sanity and stability to our country, it will stop the hideous growth of the Leviathan, and it will begin restoration of the Republic that Jefferson and the Founders so brilliantly envisioned.

What They Are Saying about This Book

"Democrats and Republicans have, for far too many years, monopolized our politics to the detriment of freedom and the open discourse of ideas. Mr. Hultberg shows in compelling fashion how to break their monopoly. Moreover, he formulates a very unique strategy to overcome why third parties are always marginalized and fail. This is a brilliant and galvanizing book that can change history."

-- James T. Bennett, Professor of Economics,
George Mason University.

"Hultberg's arguments are well reasoned and merit our most serious consideration."

-- George W. Carey, Professor of Government,
Georgetown University.

"This is a wonderful book. Nelson Hultberg is right on the mark when he points to the need for a third-party, which can unite conservatives and libertarians in a common political front."

-- Paul Gottfried, Professor of History, Elizabethtown College,
Pennsylvania. Author of Conservatism in America.

"A riveting analysis of our political scene today and an important critique of the Libertarian Party. Go out and GET this book!"

-- Walter E. Block, Professor of Economics,
Loyola University New Orleans.

"The vision of Mr. Hultberg is breathtaking. He does far more than playing the role of a latter-day Cassandra in exposing the greatest danger Western civilization has ever faced. He shows us a way to reverse the historical tide of collectivism."

-- Antal E. Fekete, Professor Emeritus, Memorial
University, Newfoundland, Canada.

"The impossible happens quite often in politics. Nobody expected the fall of the Soviet Union, or for that matter the Crash of 2008. Now no-one expects the current partisan oligopoly, 'the Demopublicans', to break up. But it will. Hultberg explains how it will happen and why it should happen. He also, to my great delight, integrates immigration and national identity into a powerful critique of today's open border policies."

-- Peter Brimelow, Market Watch columnist,
Author of Alien Nation.

"Nelson Hultberg's book proposes a viable alternative to the two dominant parties that could help restore real freedom, real growth, and real prosperity to our society. It deserves to be read by everyone who values freedom."

-- Gene Smiley, Professor of Economics, Marquette
University. Author of Rethinking the Great Depression.

"Mr. Hultberg's work reminds us of John T. Flynn and the importance and soundness of the principles he set forth with such eloquence fifty years ago. This book pulls us out of the economic dream-world in which so many Americans live today."

-- John Hospers, Professor Emeritus,
University of Southern California.

"I recommend this book to all conservatives and libertarians, in fact to all Americans. Mr. Hultberg does an excellent job of placing the conservative revolution in the lineal, historical descent from Robert A. Taft, to Barry Goldwater, to Ronald Reagan, to Ron Paul."

-- Michael Allen, Professor of History, University of Washington,
Tacoma. Co-Author of A Patriot's History of the United States.

"Mr. Hultberg has produced an inspiring critique of today's degraded 'Demopublican' system, and offers a promising alternative for fans of limited government."

--James L. Payne, Author of A History of Force and
Costly Returns: The Burdens of the U.S. Tax System.

"A clearly written, inspiring call for a politically feasible approach to changing the currently inefficient, unjust and hopelessly misguided way America is governed."

-- Tibor R. Machan, R.C. Hoiles Chair of Ethics and
Free Enterprise, Chapman University, Orange, CA.
