21st Century Common Sense - A Bold Reform Agenda for our Broken, Gridlocked, Dysfunctional, and Boring Politics (by Dr. Bob Spear), Fourth Edition. Dr. Spear lays out in some detail the deficiencies in our current electoral system, identifies the many reforms needed to convert the United States into a true democracy, and lists which reforms can best be achieved by Constitutional Amendments, by Federal statutes, by state laws, and by cultural reform. Finally, he presents a rough draft of a new constitution that incorporates the major reforms.

““Blooming Democracy” presents a joyful, happy view of political reform, dotted throughout with images and quotations about flowers. How can anyone be sad when contemplating flowers? If we should be so lucky, perhaps you will be motivated to campaign happily for the adoption of some of these reforms.

In 2026, we are no longer looking at desirable changes to our political system. Rather, this is a five-alarm fire, and we are looking at mandatory radical reforms. This short work justifies each proposed reform, and then it presents a plan for implementing the whole package. Success requires the commitment of millions of American citizens and leadership from a core group of true believers.

“Wild Ride to Democracy” will be available in May 2026.
