Our Choice: Freedom or Obedience - Paperback

by Eric Rice (Author)

What have you done now?

Renegade United States Senator Nick Turner has left his political party, declaring as an independent candidate for President. As we saw in What Can One Man Do?, Nick is trying to do what he feels is right. But...

Running for President in the United States is the most expensive, complicated, and coveted prize in the world. This is not something you decide to do on a whim. Or is it?

In this book, we follow our idealistic Senator as he strives to compete for the prize of prizes - the opportunity to be the leader of the free world. Recruiting others to join his Quixotic quest, he quickly understands this is something other politicians plan for their entire career.

Not sure who is friend and who is foe, he runs a grass-roots campaign, feeling this is the path to the people. There is also little choice since he does not have the organization and funding to do otherwise. With no political party to back his candidacy, no primaries to showcase his views, and uninterested media outlets, Nick struggles to find relevance.

With unconventional methods, Nick grows his support, one voter at a time, always seeking to stay below the radar. Mainly, he strives to avoid attracting the attention of Alexis 'Lexi' Smythe-Thomas, the sitting Vice President and presumed winner of the upcoming election.

Can Nick achieve the level of support he needs to continue his campaign? Do his ideas resonate? Will it be enough to get the silent majority to wake up and think for themselves? Is there truly a silent majority, ready to be roused, or are we already too apathetic to care? Can Nick convince people their future depends on their choice: to obey or to stand up and stay free?
