The United States—the world’s great bastion of freedom—is sliding toward socialism. Recent high-profile bailouts show the walls between government and the private sector are getting thinner each day. Federal control now extends in various ways to education, healthcare, financial markets, real estate, businesses, and religion. And as out-of-control government spending and debt increase accordingly, America is drained of the economic and political strength its people fought and worked so hard to achieve. But it isn’t too late to save the land of the free. Saving Freedom is Senator Jim DeMint’s firsthand account of the unsettling socialist shift—behind-the-scenes actions in Congress that are changing the character of our nation. He illuminates key principles of freedom and how they are being compromised by big government. More important, DeMint lays out a complete action plan to reclaim America’s freedom based on legislation that would reduce debt, fix Social Security, and provide a tax credit for every family to buy health insurance. The plan also emphasizes reversing America’s cultural decline by restoring a strong spirit of God and country.

Jim DeMint's passion for the cause of individual liberty and person"Saving Freedom is a new Declaration of Independence, a call for the American people to reclaim America. Jim DeMint's passion for the cause of individual liberty and personal responsibility is evident in this manifesto. It needs to be read—and acted upon—by every citizen of this republic." — Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives "Jim DeMint has delivered a ‘how to’ plan for avoiding a future that we neither want nor deserve. For those of us who want to keep America the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave,’ Saving Freedom is a must read!" — Oliver North, USMC (Ret.), author of New York Times best seller American Heroes "Once again, as we did in 1776, Americans must choose between freedom and oppression. In Saving Freedom, Jim DeMint describes the clear and present danger posed by big government - and what we must do to preserve individual liberty and personal responsibility. Every American needs to read this book." — Sean Hannity, host of the Sean Hannity Radio Show and Hannity's America on FOX News Channel "It's comforting to know that someone like Jim DeMint is standing in the gap as we see so many of our nation's founding principles eroding. I view Saving Freedom as a blueprint for the effort that all concerned Americans must join to restore and protect the freedoms we depend on." — Steve Forbes, president and chief executive officer of Forbes and editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine
Jim DeMint was elected senator of South Carolina in 2004 and then chairman of the Senate Steering Committee in 2006. For standing up against wasteful spending in Congress and saving Americans about $17 billion, Wall Street Journal editor Steve Moore called DeMint the “taxpayers’ greatest ally.” DeMint was also recently ranked as the Senate’s most conservative member by National Journal and as the No. 1 senator voting for responsible tax and spending policies by the National Taxpayers Union. The senator and his wife, Debbie, have four grown children, are doting new grandparents, and live in Greenville, South Carolina.

Reviewed by Kim (Alabama), September 15, 2009 Senator Demint's powerful book, entitled Saving Freedom,supports his oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. In this book, Senator Demint provides a crash course on America’s political process and proceeds to identify the enemies of our freedom. The men and women who are elected to represent us in the Senate and Congress, and even the presidential office itself,have become the greatest threat to America’s freedom. They have fallen prey to the socialist ideal that individual freedom is dangerous and that the only hope of survival our country has is to give the federal government full control of our lives.
Demint provides research data and a detailed annotated bibliography to support the information he presents upon the pages of Saving Freedom. Senator Demint is convinced that many Americans are living beneath a cloud of ignorance, and he makes every effort to identify and define socialism and the threat it represents to our country.
Saving Freedom uses easily understood language to explain to every American the danger that now lies at our doors. The cry of “freedom” is going out upon the pages of this book, and it is time to take an active role in preserving the United States of America and its great freedom!
Senator Demint not only identifies the problem, he offers practical, biblical ideas for people to use to combat the dangers of socialism. He offers a detailed list of information sources that people can use to discover for themselves the active threats against our freedom. He also encourages people to get involved and suggests practical ways that people can make a difference and change the direction of our country back to the strong, freedom-loving, freedom-supporting nation that it was founded to be.
It is time to take back our country from the deceitful, evil intent of the socialists that have invaded Washington. We face a wicked domestic enemy, and it’s time to open our Bibles and arm ourselves to fight for freedom once again!

Reviewed by Greg Williamson (Raleigh NC), September 14, 2009 Senator DeMint does an excellent job in identifying how America has become far too reliant on government plans and policies and the serious -- but not yet irrevocable -- damage it has done to our freedoms. This is "Freedom 101" -- a brief but informative course in socialism versus freedom.
Without meaning to sound like an alarmist, I do believe this topic is of vital importance to every Christian and every person who values freedom. Despite the moral and spiritual platitudes being employed by some self-serving politicians, the truth is that the Christian values upon which our country was established are rapidly being replaced by a secular humanistic mindset fostered by an ever-expanding socialistic government. "There are two destructive dimensions to the federal attempts to separate church and state. One is the elimination of the positive values and constructive behaviors associated with the free practice of religious faith. The other is the cumulative effect of laws and court rulings that actually promote destructive behaviors and violate our national conscience" (page 158).
