Abuse of Power is a real life account written by Johnny Mack of his experiences during a three year period of being wrongfully accused and prosecuted by the United States government through the US Patriot act and subsequently fighting for and winning back his freedom. Johnny was compelled to write the book because he felt that if this situation could happen to him, a law abiding citizen of the United States of America, it could happen to anyone. He feels the book is a wakeup call to all citizens of the United States of America, to remember that we, the citizens of this country, through our elected officials, run this country. We have responsibilities as citizens to make ourselves aware of relevant issues and to make our voices heard through our local and state governments.
