Summary:
OUR FOUNDERS understood that America was the best experiment on the planet. And they covered it with these phrases: E pluribus Unum: ‘Out of Many We Are One.’ ‘America may be the story folks. And us isn’t doing so great at this time.’ Says award earning journalist and writer Sophia A. Nelson. Arriving on the pumps of the raucous and divisive 2016 general election campaign, Nelson attempts to give the country an inspirational charge and lift by assisting us to reclaim our founders’ eyesight for a united and about E Pluribus ONE: Reclaiming Our Founders’ Eyesight for a United America strong America. Nelson reminds us that ‘we the people’ are charged by our founders’ to cherish lifestyle, liberty, freedom and equality, as well as to guard the country from intrusive governance. The founders’ also charged our leaders to be moral, virtuous, patriotic servants from the people. In this groundbreaking reserve, Nelson difficulties us to live out the call of our founding: We are ONE America. We are ONE People. We are ONE nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.Pulling from our founding fathers’ primary concepts of liberty, citizenship, morals, virtues, civic engagement, equality, self-governance, and, when required, civil disobedience, Nelson telephone calls us to a higher standard. She phone calls us to purpose. And she calls us to rediscover the things that unite us, not divide us. One is a book that all Us citizens, regardless of politics party, race, religious beliefs, or gender can accept and tell their children and grandchildren for decades. It really is a reminder simply of what makes America great and what makes us the envy of the world. Alexis de Tocqueville said it greatest: ‘America is excellent because America can be great. If America ever ceases to be good, it’ll cease to be great.’ Nelson needs us on a historical, yet extremely inspirational journey of not just our founding values, but the women and men who strolled them out and brought America to become the fantastic light it really is in around the world days gone by 240 years.
