About the book*:

We the People Declare War on Our Lousy Government (also titled Declare War!) by Wayne Green is a 1992 polemic that channels frustration with the U.S. government into a spirited call for citizen action. Originally a publisher and founder of Byte magazine, Green shifts gears here to political and civic commentary, drawing largely from his life in New Hampshire—a hotbed of grassroots activism.

📖 Overview & Themes

• Political Dissatisfaction
  Green labels the federal government as fundamentally flawed—inefficient, overreaching, and disconnected from citizens. The title’s aggressive tone (“declare war”) is metaphorical, urging readers to rally against bureaucratic overreach, not pick up arms. 

• Citizen Empowerment, New Hampshire-Style
  Drawing inspiration from New England town meetings and the first-in-the-nation primary spotlight, Green emphasizes localism, citizen involvement, and direct democracy. He sees America as fixable if people get involved at the grassroots level.

• Policy Critiques
  The book dives into economic and political policies of the 1980s and early ’90s—budget deficits, taxation complexities, regulation, and social programs—arguing they've drifted away from taxpayers’ interests.

• Action-Driven Advice
  More than criticism, Green offers concrete steps: stay informed, vote smart, run for local office, influence media, and band together in civic associations to drive change.

🧩 Structure & Style

Green writes in plain, no-nonsense prose that toggles between fiery editorial and practical guidance. At roughly 360 pages, the content feels like a rally speech woven with historical and civic reflections.

🎯 Who It’s For

• Citizens frustrated with federal bureaucracy

• Fans of small-government and localist thought

• Readers of political provocateurs and grassroots activism manuals

🗣️ Takeaway Message

Green sounds a battle horn—figuratively—to remind Americans that government is of, by, and for the people. He positions civic participation not just as a right, but as a duty: find your local meeting, speak up, and don’t let distant power take over.

We take a look determine the book's condition. We ship in protective packing to ensure it arrives in the best possible shape during shipping. 

While we try to indicate the condition of all books, used books may have publisher or retail store merchant price stickers, writing or residuals or original pricing imprints and those may not be indicative of and differ from current pricing. Used books may have original or owners name, etc written or stamped in book. Stickers such as original or old pricing, inventory, etc may still be on the book as well as spots where the sticker has been previously removed. We do our best to describe the book in the condition notes above as well. Subject to shelf wear, the picture is the actual item photo. If we have more than one, we will endeavor to show the worst book or list separately. Pricing is based on today's value and not old price stickers.

We pack and ship with care! We do this right, unlike some of the other mega warehouse sellers who really haven't even looked at the book and then toss it in a cheap bag for shipping. We do better than that, and we suspect you expect better if you collect and value good books.
