So You Think You're a
Good Citizen
ADVANCE
PRAISE
"I've always
felt that the political process in this country is better served by more
folks engaging in an exchange of ideas based on their merits. We're a
country that's too often divided between folks who care passionately and
folks who don't care at all, and I'd credit Walter Lamb for his efforts
to move more folks into that category that cares. The more we think
about decisions that impact our lives on a daily basis the more we see
how important it is to stand up and be counted, and the more folks who
stand up to be counted the better off we're going to be as a
society."
-- Governor Mark Sanford, SC
"Walter Lamb not
only makes a compelling case for turning off one's TV so we can
concentrate on taking back our country, he also shows how reforms like
term limits on elected officials can help us get started."
-- Paul Jacob, Radio Host for Common Sense
"I want to thank
Walter for stepping out and sharing his concerns and views on these
major topic issues. Hopefully, his book will stimulate and encourage
each of us to consider how we feel about these issues and get more
involved in the government process. Each person getting involved will
help insure that our country remains free and fair to all our
citizens."
-- Fred B. Cavanaugh, Jr., Mayor of Aiken, SC
FROM
THE AUTHOR
The foreword and the five chapter
titles:
1) The Freedom that Education Provides;
2) And Then There Is the Judiciary;
3) The Press Wields a Mighty Sword;
4) Politics, USA Style; and
5) The Keystone of the Republic: The Family,
provide insight into the driving force behind So You Think You're a
Good Citizen.
The areas of concern in each chapter are
aligned to show their effects on the family; the family is considered
the keystone of our country's future. Unlike a corporation with a
well-planned future, we, as a country, show signs of degradation. It
will take all of our effort to get our country back on the right track.
We, the citizens, are responsible for the
future of our country.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Walter Lamb is a graduate of McDonogh School, Baltimore, MD, where his
first interest in writing was sparked by professors Hall and Kinard. He
graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1955, spent six years in the
Navy, then began a career in business, highlighted by his involvement in
taking a computer time-sharing company public in 1968. Computer related
positions took him from Louisville, KY to Houston, TX. In 1983 in
Houston, he entered the brokerage business and remained in that field
until retiring from A.G. Edwards as a V.P. in 2001. Retirement took him
to Aiken, SC, where a slower pace allowed him time to write several
editorials for the Aiken-Standard and
the Augusta Chronicle, as well as to substitute teach for the local
school system.
This combination of military service,
entrepreneurship, financial investing, teaching, and the surprising and
positive reaction to his articles, provided the concern, the drive and
the necessity to write this book.
Walter and Rusty Lamb have five children and four
grandchildren. When not doing things together in Aiken, they enjoy
traveling, playing bridge, and reading. Walter is an avid golfer.
