Economic Home Runs

Effective US Historic Solutions to Current American Challenges

Today with the federal debt soaring, off shore oil exploration in doubt, real estate foreclosures at an all time high and Europe slipping on Greece, the United States is facing dire economic and governmental challenges. Many Americans doubt America can recover and believe the United States is in a state of rapid decline. Mr. Klos disagrees and offers:

13 Ways to Restore U.S. Prosperity

Special: First Edition

Autographed

$9.95 each
$3.00 shipping one or more books

The Santayana quotation that "those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it" implies that we can learn from the past to avoid errors. This book has taken the positive step of looking to the road map of American history for guidance in choosing the right path to economic and political prosperity.

The equally well known quotation from Ecclesiastes "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the Sun " applies to our current economic troubles. Our American forefathers faced unimaginably greater difficulties then we do today. Their struggles, successes, and the solutions achieved over the last 200-years provide us with 20/20 foresight; if only we look in the rear view mirror.

Klos maintains, the "Citizens are not at a loss on what to do; they just lost their voice in the House of Representatives to enact common sense solutions to end special interest government. The States are not at a loss on what to do; they just lost their voice in the U.S. Senate to free themselves of unfunded federal mandates and burdensome federal laws that challenge the sovereignty they were bequeathed under the 10th Amendment."

This book is a must read for anyone concerned about the direction of the United States and is looking for solutions to restore American Prosperity.

Happy Birthdays USA

The US Founding Handbook: Birthdates, Presidents and Capitols.

Click Here to answer our two question U.S. Birthday Survey

First Edition Still Available - $14.95

About the Book: When is the birthday of the United States of America? “July 4^th, 1776 ” any first grader would answer. Perhaps, but open your mind and imagine a secret Hippie beginning that was conceived in a Philadelphia Tavern, delivered in a NYC Tavern, and cradled in a renovated City Hall. The USA Founding was a complicated but most miraculous birth.

Your listeners and readers will be surprised to know:

Our nation’s “birth” didn’t happen on July 4. Other dates are also in the running. Even Groundhog Day (February 2) has a founding significance.
Presidents Day: George Washington actually followed several other U.S. presidents. Ever hear of Thomas Mifflin? Or Samuel Huntington?
Virginia, not Delaware, was our first state.
We have had a foreign-born U.S. president!
Black History: The United States federal emancipation of Slaves began in 1787 not in 1862!

Spark conversation and controversy when acclaimed educator and historian Stanley Klos explains more on-air. An expert on the cloaked-in-secrecy founding of our nation, Professor Klos will be your ideal guest year-round, especially on the heels of President’s Day and as we look toward Memorial Day, Flag Day and Independence Day.

Ask him about intriguing history that applies to modern life:

Names, dates and nation-building events associated with our “original Constitution”: The Articles of Confederation.
Key decisions affecting our nation’s founding, that was birthed by stein-toting delegates in tavern US Capitols throughout the Northeast!
Why Campaign Finance Reform will fail in the courts and/or in practice.
Which political party truly spearheaded America’s progressive movement.
How the dollar disastrously collapsed (and might again).
Real Estate Crisis & how to restore a balanced market.
Church and State 1776-1789: Its US Founding evolution: Early History of the Great Seal, Days of Fasting, Humiliation and Thanksgiving Proclamations; The Bible of the Revolution, and the Northwest Ordinance – (“Religion, Morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind).

$24.00 - Including Priority Mail shipping

This U.S. Founding Handbook completely documents the nation's birth and evolution of the U.S. Presidency from 1774 to 1789. The book has an account of the capitols where the Continental Congress, United States in Congress Assembled and the current U.S. Constitutional government held their formal sessions until the permanent seat of government was fully established in Washington D.C. on February 4, 1801. The work also includes full printings of the following U.S. Founding documents: The 1774 Articles of Association, 1775 Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms, 1776 Declaration of Independence, 1777 Articles of Confederation, 1783 Treaty of Paris, 1787 Northwest Ordinance, the US Constitution of 1787, Bill of Rights and all Amendments.

When is the birthday of the United States of America? “July 4^th, 1776 ” any first grader would answer. So how old is the United States of America? “Let me see, 2009-1776, we are 233 years old, Happy Birthday United States of America!” Typically, the first time one learns that the answer may not be “the fourth of July” is in junior high school during American history class. Here, students learn that the United Colonies of America actually declared their Independence on July 2^nd and not the fourth. Next they learn that the constitutional formation of the United States of America, as a “Perpetual Union, ” occurred under the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777. Furthermore, they are taught that this U.S. Constitution of 1777 wasn’t ratified until March 1, 1781. They then learn that it wasn’t until two years later that Great Britain conceded the independence of its American colonies with the September 3, 1783 signing of the Treaty of Paris .

To make matters more complex, each college student is reminded every year, by their universities, that the true birth date of the “more perfect” United States is September 17, 1787. This is a position taken by numerous prominent Americans from U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd [i] to philanthropist Thomas S. Connelly.[ii] The U.S. Constitution of 1787, however, was not ratified by the required 2/3rds States until June 21, 1788. It was not adopted by the United States Confederation government until July 2, 1788 which resolved that the new Constitution of 1787 would take effect on March 4, 1789. Finally, there is the question on whether or not the reformulation of the United States of America required all 13 States, rather than just nine, to ratify the current Constitution thus dissolving the Articles of Confederation . If this is the case, then Rhode Island ’s ratification on May 29, 1790, thirteen months after George Washington took the Presidential Oath of Office, may be the true birthday of the United States of America.

So, when is the birthday of the United States of America? To discern the answer to this question it is first necessary to adopt a plausible definition for the word “birthday.” Since this inquiry concerns the United States, we turn to a historic American dictionary for verbal clarity. Noah Webster’s Dictionary defines birthday as, “The day in which any person is born; day of origin or commencement.”[iii] Since the U.S. is not a person, this work seeks to discover and establish the true “day of origin or commencement” of the United States of America in the following eight chapters entitled: September 5, 1774 , July 2 , 1776, July 4, 1776 , November 15, 1777 , February 2, 1781, March 1, 1781, September 3, 1783 , and September 17, 1787 .

About The Author

Stanley Louis Klos (born January 18, 1954) is a historian, author, entrepreneur, and former Italian basketball player. Klos was the United States Senate Republican Nominee who challenged Robert C. Byrd in 1994. He currently resides in Florida with his eight children.

Stan began acquiring and researching historic documents in 1983 upon discovering the 18^th Century shipping records of Philadelphia Shipping merchant John Imlay in the attic of his home. Since then, Stan has written numerous publications and assembled exhibits that have headlined a plethora of universities, national historic sites, libraries, museums and special events. He has keynoted numerous historical events including the Franklin D. Roosevelt American Heritage Center Museum Grand Opening and entombment of Martha and U.S. President Samuel Huntington. His work and publications have appeared in hundreds of print and digital publications including U.S. News & World Report 2006 cover story, “Washington? Get In Line" and the Discovery Channel’s “Unsolved History: Plots To Kill Lincoln.”

He was the Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate in 1994 campaigning as a "sacrificial lamb" against Robert C. Byrd as part of the GOP’s strategy to capture a majority in the U.S. Senate. The strategy was successful as Byrd (D), although elected 69% to 31%, spent $1,550,354 to Klos' $267,165 while the GOP captured 52 out of the 100 seats. As a State Treasurer GOP Nominee Stan uncovered a system to circumvent the West Virginia State Constitution's ban on investing State funds into equities during his campaign. Klos challenged the legality of the “West Virginia Trust Fund” which was declared unconstitutional by the West Virginia Supreme Court. The following year he backed an amendment to the State Constitution allowing equity investments that passed by a 71 to 29% margin.

Stan is a real estate historic preservationist who has acquired, preserved and profitably re-developed 32 historically significant properties ranging from Vaudeville theaters to Revolutionary War Taverns in four states.
