John B. Bloom book argues both parties failed America and offers a reform plan

Retired engineer and Constitution Party of Virginia chairman John B. Bloom is out with a first book that attacks both major parties and lays out fixes for the national debt, elections and government accountability. "For a More Perfect Union" will be sold in hardcover and paperback wherever books are sold.

Why it matters: - "For a More Perfect Union" adds a third-party critique to the 2026 political debate by arguing that both major parties have drifted from the Constitution. - The book ties political dysfunction to practical problems including national debt, election trust, healthcare costs and the size of the federal government. - Bloom frames the book as a call for ordinary voters to force change, not just party leaders.

What happened: - John B. Bloom, a retired federal engineer and chairman of the Constitution Party of Virginia, published his first book, "For a More Perfect Union." - Bloom spent more than 30 years working inside the Republican, Democratic and independent parties in New York and Virginia. - The book was published by Book Publishing Group LLC and will be available in hardcover and paperback wherever books are sold. - Bloom is based in Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

The details: - The book argues that the two major parties have stopped following the Constitution. - Bloom says the current fight over defense spending and the war with Iran shows how military costs are squeezing federal priorities. - The book says America's national debt has reached $39 trillion. - Bloom says the debt, along with wars, is taking resources from future generations. - The book lays out Bloom's case for impeaching President Trump using public facts, including court cases, convictions and actions Bloom says broke the law. - Bloom also describes unfair deals and rigged elections he says he witnessed inside party politics on both sides. - The book includes Bloom's personal account of unfair treatment while he worked as a federal employee. - Bloom says in the book that he opposes abortion and wants more support and funding for adoption. - Bloom says the book is written in plain language that is easy to follow. - Bloom holds a bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering from Penn State and a master's degree in environmental technology from the New York Institute of Technology.

Between the lines: - Bloom is positioning the book as both a political argument and a reform blueprint, which broadens its appeal beyond partisan criticism. - The policy mix reflects a small-government, anti-establishment approach common to third-party politics. - The book's focus on election rules and accountability suggests Bloom sees process reform as the route to broader trust in government. - Bloom's direct appeal to public frustration may resonate most with voters already skeptical of both parties.

What's next: - The book is set to reach readers in hardcover and paperback through retail booksellers. - Bloom's public role as Constitution Party of Virginia chairman suggests the book could also serve as a platform for future political organizing. - The book may draw attention from readers following the Trump impeachment debate, war funding fights and broader fiscal concerns. - More about Meghan Synan's work is available at More information.
