OUR FOUNDERS understood that America was the greatest experiment on earth. And they sealed it with these words: E pluribus Unum: ‘Out of several We Are One.’ ‘America is the story of us.

Nelson reminds us that ‘we the people’ are charged by our founders’ to cherish life, liberty, freedom and equality, as well as to guard the nation from intrusive governance. The founders’ also billed our leaders to become moral, virtuous, patriotic servants of the people. In this groundbreaking book, Nelson issues 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 those.Tugging from our founding fathers’ core principles of liberty, citizenship, morals, virtues, civic engagement, equality, self-governance, and, when required, civil disobedience, Nelson calls us to a higher standard.

If America ever ceases to become good, it will cease to become great.’ Nelson needs us on the historical, yet very inspirational journey of not only our founding beliefs, but the men and women who walked them out and brought America to be the fantastic light it is in around the world the past 240 years.
