This, from an early review on Amazon:

 

"By Force of Patriots" is a spellbinding, nail-biting read. Ripped from the headlines of today's newspapers, author Cameron Reddy, a Michigan-based attorney, looks at what happens when an overbearing federal government finally pushes too far, and how an aroused citizenry responds to this assault on freedom. "By Force of Patriots" is a page turner the reader will have a hard time putting down.

 

The Frightening Reality…

A president came to power on this plan:

 

“Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive,
affirmative,
non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people.
They must feel so frustrated,
so defeated,
so lost,
so futureless in the prevailing system
that they are willing to let go of the past
and chance the future…”

 

Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky 

 

The Situation…

Government employees attack and beat citizens attempting to assemble and rally for returning America to its Constitutional foundation under a Christian God. Two nuns are arrested for passing out bibles outside a Mosque. Military helicopters armed with hellfire missiles pound into submission a separatist colony in Nevada…

 

Already disgruntled by the nationalization of major industries, crippled energy production, and oppressive taxation that destroys the will to invest, innovate, or even put in a hard day’s work, Americans begin to wake up.

 

Some begin to boil.

 

Confrontations between citizens and government officials multiply and escalate. Shots are fired with the true monster that threatens world peace: the repulsive, the odious, the singularly loathsome “automatic” assault rifle.

 

The President conceives a plan to quell these domestic “terrorists.” The first step is disarming America by having his liberal majority on the US Supreme Court emasculate The District of Columbia v. Heller and “green light” implementation of draconian laws that effectively ban all firearms. The next step is to enforce the ban with his newly-minted “National Defense Force” comprised, to no one’s surprise, of heretofore illegal immigrants.

 

The obvious question becomes as tantalizing as it is ominous: what happens when tens of thousands—a million—50 million armed Americans decide that enough is enough?

By Force Of Patriots takes us to that moment when Americans, as they did in 1776, apprehend their right, their duty, to throw off such government…

 

From analytical discussions about abortion, gun rights, free speech, and constitutional decision making, to gun battles deep in America’s wilderness, this compelling story is a provocative analysis of what Americans may do in order to form a more perfect union.
