"Don't be discouraged. Don't Surrender. Fight back." That is the rallying cry of attorney/author Tony Lamia in his new book "Blame It On The System" as he tells citizens how to stand up to the excesses of politicians, judges, lawyers, and bureaucrats whose abuses of power described in the book exceed anything the King of England did to provoke the American Revolution. Lamia provides readers with short and long term strategies for regaining control of their lives as he documents how entrenched politicos are taking their money, violating their rights, corrupting their courts, taking over their schools, and even threatening their health.

Both use humor to reach children and impress upon them the importance of developing the skills necessary to survive in a literate world and to develop word power in order to communicate effectively.
