Summary A legendary Senator advises our next President on the commonsense values necessary to lead our nation. The longest-serving member of the United States Senate, Byrd has served the people of West Virginia for 54 years. From his unique vantage point, Byrd focuses his observations on underappreciated virtues like personal responsibility, careful consideration before making decisions, and a sense of decency and fairness even toward fierce opponents. Enlightened by a wide-ranging knowledge of American history and a love for the guiding principles of the Constitution, Byrd's observations sharpen the focus of the historical moment in which we find ourselves.--From publisher description.

Dear new president
Bring back the fireside chat
Teach the people about the Constitution
No life stands outside of history
A big lie is still a lie : tell the truth
Build your presidency around accountability
Let the press do its job, even when that might sting
We can do better than photo-op diplomacy
A new approach to the rest of the world : influence
Less partisan warfare, more real debate
Don't forget the basics : have the patience to reflect.
