Progress and movement do risk mistakes. So, if a mistake is made, man up, fess up and fix it. We should not be afraid or averse to change for fear of making a mistake.
an excerpt from the book
“Let’s Get Focused: Suggestions for Improving America” by Ronald F. Jackson is a bold, straight-talking book about fixing what’s broken in American democracy. Instead of dancing around issues, the author dives right into practical, sometimes controversial proposals aimed at modernizing the U.S. Constitution, reforming elections, improving political ethics, and tackling real-world problems like voting rights, money in politics, healthcare, education, immigration, and social justice. Proudly published by Citi of Books, this is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
Ronald F. Jackson is a retired engineer who spent forty years working in the power industry in design, construction, and startup of a variety of projects both governmental and commercial. He was born in 1951 in Atlanta, GA. He came of age with a bird’s eye view of the civil rights era and the leaders that directed it. He observed the promise and progress of a nation beginning to confront its shortcomings with a determination to make progress. He has also observed a pullback in the will to address issues and has written this book to focus attention on significant issues.
If you’ve ever looked at the news and thought, “There has to be a better way,” then “Let’s Get Focused: Suggestions for Improving America” might be the book you didn’t know you were waiting for. Ronald F. Jackson doesn’t sugarcoat the problems facing the U.S.—he calls out political laziness, outdated systems, and the way power has drifted away from everyday citizens. But instead of just complaining, he rolls up his sleeves and offers real, concrete ideas to move the country forward.
The target audience of the book is adults who care about democracy but feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or shut out of the political process. It’s especially engaging for readers who enjoy big-picture thinking, honest conversations, and aren’t afraid to challenge long-standing traditions. You don’t need to be a political expert to follow along—the writing is clear, direct, and intentionally accessible.
One of the strongest moral lessons in “Let’s Get Focused” connects directly to real life: ignoring problems doesn’t make them go away. Just like a neglected relationship or a broken habit, democracy weakens when people stop paying attention and stop participating. The book reminds us that progress requires effort, accountability, and a willingness to admit when something isn’t working—and then actually fix it.
What makes this book so compelling is that it invites readers into the conversation instead of talking down to them. You may agree with every proposal, or you may argue with half of them—but either way, you’ll finish the book thinking more deeply about your role as a citizen. If you’re ready for a no-nonsense, thought-provoking read that challenges you to stop drifting and start engaging, “Let’s Get Focused” is absolutely worth picking up.
