description: In the tradition of Thomas Paine from whose "Common Sense" the title is derived, Uncommon Voice from the Heart of We The People is a personal perspective of what is wrong with modern-day America's current political, educational, religious and social direction and how to change it for the positive good of us all. Leaning on the wisdom of Jesus, Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., it describes a broad human rights "umbrella" under which all issues of positive merit fall. Emphasizing the importance of a broad platform agenda in this manner, it encourages those interested in peace, environmental, poverty, disease, education, civil rights and other related issues to come together under the singular Just Cause of Human and Civil Rights. Using a combination of essays, poems and songs, the biting satire, humor and serious mainly non-fiction and some fictional content, defies conventional category and format. Beginning with the author's personal early memories of racist Birmingham, Alabama in the late 1950's and the Hootenanny days of Pete Seeger's McCarthy hearing, the book traces political, social, religious, educational and scientific developments up through the beginning of the George Bush "Junior" administration, exposing the hypocrisy of both political parties in general and the religious entirely wrong in particular.
