Common Sense America: Restoring the Voice of Passionate Moderates
Staying Silent Has Tremendous Consequences.
J.D. Watson realized he had to speak up after witnessing President Obama’s first term, the 2012 Republican primary, and how that election unfolded. He was shocked to see how out of touch elected officials in this country had become.
He began polling people about their opinions on current issues and realized that the majority of Americans, regardless of party affiliation, are quite moderate.
The overwhelming majority
Term limits for Congress and the Supreme CourtA balanced budgetThe ability to retire comfortably one dayAffordable, quality healthcareSafety and security in their communities
But the voices and concerns of moderate Americans aren’t being heard at the legislative, judicial, or executive levels. Tribalism by the media and our federal government often keeps moderate Americans at odds with each other, instead of uniting to pressure our elected officials to act in our best collective interests.
It’s time for a return to Common Sense America. This book will challenge your knowledge of public policy, encourage you to examine how and why you vote, and bring us together with a shared voice to take action against those who have failed our country for far too long.

Mr. Watson has written an eloquent treatise on what America needs in this onerous time. His arguments are painstakingly researched, wonderfully thought out, and truly point us to common sense where there has been very little common sense in the recent past. The format he uses is compelling with his in depth explanations that lead to thoughtful solutions. It’s a must read for those that want to avoid all the political wrangling and just get this nation to some solutions that could truly make a difference. He has restored hope that a Common Sense America can still come to fruition
