Politicians Come and Go: Preserving The America Spirit

The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.”

Thomas Paine, ‘Common Sense’

Next Wednesday on Independence Day many Americans will hang the stars and stripes to celebrate our freedom and the optimism of our Founding Fathers.

However, over the past few years many Americans feel discouraged by the multitude of challenges we face as a nation in this critical time in history. Some people have given up on the American Dream and no longer believe America is the greatest country on earth and in all human history.  If you’re one of those people, please enlighten the rest of us.  Which country is the greatest on Earth?  Tell us in the comments section of this story.

Of course, it’s all too easy to throw our hands up in a lose of heart, but a new book written by New York Times best-selling authors Ed Feulner, president of The Heritage Foundation and Brian Tracy reminds us that such pessimism is unnecessary.

According to one book review , ‘The American Spirit: Celebrating the Values and Virtues that Make Us Great’ is packed with engaging stories, inspiring profiles and eye-opening statistics.

As you celebrate America’s birthday with your friends and family, never forget that an unconquerable spirit does exist that defines the American People and must be forever preserved for our Republic to prosper.
