Summary:

“Dr. Alexander . brings to the book an acute understanding of both why our valued type of government-and those that serve us in the civil service-appears to be under such unrelenting strike and how exactly we, as citizens, should and must respond.”

-from the foreword by Congressman Elijah E. Cummings

When those we elect descend into partisan tribalism, criminal malfeasance, and emulation of foreign autocracies and oligarchies, Cedric Alexander says it is the unelected apolitical “fourth branch” about In Defense of Public Program: How 22 Million Government Workers Will Save our Republic of government-our nation’s public servants, civil servants, and first responders-who must conserve the nation.

Alexander, a ex – deputy mayor, law enforcement main, and CNN commentator, argues that these people do not constitute a nefarious “deep state” pursuing a concealed agenda. They are the analysts, scientists, attorneys, accountants, teachers, consultants, enforcers of rules, and initial responders of each kind who keep the country running and its own people secure. Alexander recounts the development of the professional civil assistance as an antidote to common cronyism, offers types of how they have served as a bulwark against powerful corrupting affects, and describes the role it could play in bringing our terribly divided society jointly. To the general public, many of these 22 million people remain invisible and their contributions hidden. However now is the period to make the invisible visible.
