Hank’s book A Broken Sausage Grinder; Is Our Government Fundamentally Flawed? Was written between 2011-2012 during the midterm elections that marked the end of Obama’s first two years of administration. He later launched the 2nd edition as an update. Hank’s goal with the book is to educate the average American citizen of what the government should be doing based on the doctrines laid down by America’s founding fathers vs. what they are doing and how they are going wrong. “We the People of the United States, to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” - Preamble Hank iterates occasionally the principles that are laid down by the founding fathers of the country and how strongly the current political moguls are straying away from it. . We all must take an active part as responsible citizens and come together for a solution and a better American future. “Everybody proclaims disgust with our political system, yet the system continues to get more disgusting and nothing is going to change until we the people change it. My research for this book has convinced me that our political process can and will work if we choose the right people to represent us.” - Hank Thomas
