We Have Two Foundation Blocks of American Greatness on Which to Stand
We draw strength and inspiration from our history and model the courage, perseverance, and resilience it represents
- Fortunately, we have two foundation blocks on which we can stand to take on the challenges we face – the extraordinary founding of the United States and the 250-year journey to fully realize its’ promise for all Americans – our trajectory.
- Americans have previously demonstrated the commitment, courage, perseverance, resilience, and solidarity that we must now bring to bear in order to protect and improve the American experiment in democracy.
- They have overcome the natural doubts, anxieties, feeling small in the face of the challenges, as well as the natural forces that pull us apart and undermine our ability to act together.
- They consistently said “yes” to being courageous citizens and “no” to being cowardly subjects of authoritarians.
- The Americans that have come before us have shown the way, and they have done their part. They have proven that it’s possible. Now it’s our turn to carry the American experiment in democracy forward to fully realize the original vision – honoring and modeling our heritage of American Greatness.
