The new book from Ricardo Planas, available for free download from Reasonandpolitics.com, is entitled "I'm Right, You're Wrong! NO You're Wrong, I'm Right!" The book is an examination of topics related to the upcoming campaign season through a fresh, moral values perspective, examining the current positions of US political parties on the top 5 issues for 2008 election results, including felony disenfranchisement. While there is some argument as to what these five issues are amongst the voting public, the Democrats and Republicans have narrowed the focus to issues on which they can easily take partisan politics-based sides. Read further in the free downloadable ebooks for the most highly discussed issues.

The Democrats and Republicans generally motivate their respective bases by going to standby, culture war issues. These make up the top 5 issues, for 2008 election strategists. These are abortion, gay marriage, the War in Iraq, gun control, and the War on Terror. Though the order of importance of these issues changes in the weekly and daily polls conducted by researchers, they consistently come up as generating the most concern, and thus are the focus of the two major US political parties. On each of these issues, there is a particular party line, and candidates who deviate from the party line have trouble drumming up support, and thus have trouble getting enough funding to get any sort of different message out there. Planas' book is a call to action for those who are tired of leaders spouting the same party-based rhetoric on these important issues, a search for a new group of leaders ready to cut across the ideological spectrum in order to truly represent the American public in office.
