With this book, John Burke shares his thoughts on the future of America. Burke makes the case that America's decline is due to a combination of poor leadership in the government and poor citizenship. Burke takes on 14 of America's biggest problems, ranging from a health-care system that is almost twice as expensive as any other country in the world and delivers results that rank 55th out of 57 Western nations to how to solve our nation's $34 trillion debt. For every major problem, Burke outlines nonpartisan solutions that are in the best long-term interest of the United States. The book brings our biggest problems to life with facts, graphs, stories and, most importantly, solutions. This book is a great read for anyone who cares about the future of the United States. Now it is our turn, it is the time for all good people to stand up and be heard, to do something for our country, and be worthy of the title, Citizen of the United States.

I am deeply concerned about the future of the United States. The United States used to lead the world as an example of good government. I am running for President because I think our country needs massive change.

These pages contain pictures and stories of Mineral Point's early commercial history and tell of men and women who built businesses along Mineral Point Creek and Old Darlington Road. In 1845, Matilda Hood built the first gristmill in Mineral Point using the creek water to power the mill stones. In 1909, Charlie Curtis started a successful cement block company along Darlington Road. That block plant was destroyed by a mysterious dynamite explosion in 1921. These businesses and others in the Darlington Road valley helped create a commercial and industrial city that became the center of southwest Wisconsin in the 1800s, "the city where Wisconsin began."

I believe life presents opportunities to help us grow and learn through our own circumstances and through the stories and experiences of others. Our story includes the death of our son, Benjamin, by suicide. I know, it's the "S" word, one we'd rather stay away from. But what if instead of hiding from this topic or trying to protect your kids and staying away from this topic, you were given the opportunity to hear a story firsthand-our story-and learn from it? Are we doing the best we can to educate and protect our loved ones? Is the subject of suicide avoided because we don't think it will happen or because we're afraid it will?Talk about suicide; it could save a life. I wish I would have talked with my son about suicide. We pray, however, that this book is meant to serve you. It does just that, whether you're the one struggling or you're helping a loved one who is struggling.Tears of Love offers insight into lessons learned on my journey and why this book came to be. I share how my family came to deal with Benjamin's unexpected plan, how I am still in recovery-and always will be-and how his unanticipated action birthed a new and unexpected mission for my life.

A GREEN BAY HISTORICAL TRUE CRIME STORYAt the turn of the 20th century, cities around the world were rife with syphilis, yet no blood test could prove it. Two women in Green Bay, Wisconsin found their lives destroyed by that simple fact. Mary, an illiterate maid, and Mollie, a college-educated socialite, fell victim to the physical violence and mental abuse of celebrated surgeon Dr. John R. Minahan. To silence them, he claimed they had that shameful and dreaded disease. But as medical science advanced and suffragettes marched for their rights, Mary and Mollie found the courage to stand up for theirs. This is the only full account written about Dr. John R. Minahan, whose family dominated Green Bay's professional, business, and political arenas from 1892 to 1954. Dr. Minahan's wealth built a college stadium, science hall, and six-story office building-all named for him-while history lost, or perhaps erased, Mary's and Mollie's heroic stories. Until now.Disturbingly, these women's intimate narratives embody the same battles dominating headlines today: men's entitlement versus women's liberty, wealth versus poverty, and false information versus scientific fact. This is a story of power, abuse, and seeking justice. It is the story of Dr. Minahan versus the maid and the socialite.
