21st Century Common Sense was the brainchild and the first book ever written by author Mark Fraizer. Using language, concepts, and format from such historically significant works as The Federalist Papers and Common Sense, Fraizer brings to life a new perspective to many of the issues that face our great nation in the present. By grounding his logic and principles in his Christian background, as well as his education and life experiences, he writes as if speaking to the reader; bringing to light real solutions to many seemingly unsolvable problems. Demanding results on problems that are continuously overlooked, often for generations, meanwhile pleading with his fellow countrymen to unite for the benefit of a nation. A quick read, this book will inspire those from every generation and walk of life. Expressing widely held generational views in order to promote reform, action, and discussion. Mark Fraizer was born on April 18, 1988, in a small town located in Central Ohio. Born and raised in Newark, Ohio, Mark was the second of two children born to parents C.D. and Linda Fraizer. Raised a protestant Christian, it was deemed necessary by his parents that he should be well rounded and unprejudiced: playing soccer, musical instruments, and volunteering within his community. Being raised in a "battleground state," political discussions are very commonplace due to the mixing of political ideologies throughout Ohio's population. Although raised a Republican, he was a moderate that focused on the reasons behind political belief. Reared as a Republican, educated as a liberal, and his numerous life experiences all helped to create the perspectives he brings forth in this book.
