The Book
America Abandoned
“From right wing conservatives to Wall Street fat cats, progressive writer Jill Cody delivers a no-holds-barred look at a country that’s becoming politically, morally and financially bankrupt.”
— Thom Hartmann, nationally syndicated talk show host and bestselling author
The American people have been abandoned. Behemoth corporations, the uber-rich, the media, Congress, and the Supreme Court have withdrawn their support from “We, the People”, in spite of their duty, allegiance, or responsibility to American citizens.
Billionaires and corporations are flourishing as they abandon loyalty to employees and American citizens. The same wealthy people and corporations are hoarding billions of dollars offshore to avoid paying taxes while privatizing their profits and subsidizing their losses. By doing so, they are intentionally abandoning their civic responsibility for the obscene accumulation of profit, and are impeding the government’s ability to serve the public good.
When you read this eye-opening expose´, you will discover:
- who launched the Velvet Coup
- which seminal moments in U.S. history are threatening our democracy today
- what Citizen Voter Type you are, and how to become a powerful citizen
- what Living in the Black or Living in the Red means, and how those choices could either rescue or ruin America
- how we can reconstruct our lives and laws to save our middle class and democracy.
Jill Cody, a well-known, influential educator, consultant and advocate, presents an expanded view of abandonment to illustrate how this calculated crisis is destroying our democracy. This book’s optimism speaks to the hope that, when we realize we have lost something of great value, we will fight to get it back.
After reading America Abandoned, you will know it is time to take a stand, be bold, and recapture our democracy.

Starting Jan. 21, We Must Practice Peak-Citizenship
In a functioning democracy, the government is dependent upon citizenship. In a non-functioning democracy, it will depend on Peak-Citizenship.
It is no longer enough to think that voting is all citizens need to do (and too many of us don’t even to that). From this point forward, what we have done in the past as citizens to participate in and guide our country will no longer be enough. Reclaiming our democracy will require peak-citizenship.
All we have left as We the People, is our citizenship, the strength of our convictions, and the force of our character manifested by performing at our peak as a citizen in the United States of America. What actions can we take?

Did you see the last election coming?
America Abandoned explains what happened and how the corporations and billionaires took over America. Our democracy has been stolen. Greedy, dishonorable thieves stole it while we trusted them and they abandoned us. A powerful moment in our lives happens when we first realize we have lost something, especially something of great value. We are stunned. We feel empty inside.
We feel betrayed. We want it back. When we realize our loss, we hope to remedy it, to get that thing back, and only then will we take immediate action to make that happen. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, as the old cliché says; sometimes we have to lose something before we can understand its value. We’ve lost our democracy. Want to get it back?
