As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, we face a pivotal choice: Will we continue to uphold the founding principles that have unleashed unprecedented freedom and opportunity, or will we drift toward greater government control that stifles innovation and prosperity
Throughout our history, America has stood as a beacon of freedom — a place where individuals can pursue their dreams, unbound by the limits imposed elsewhere. This promise, known as the American Dream, has been made possible by the principles of individual liberty, limited government, the rule of law, free markets, fiscal responsibility, peace through strength, and human dignity.
These ideas have not only defined our nation’s success but also empowered generations of Americans to build, innovate, and thrive. And as we look to the future, it’s up to us to ensure that these principles remain the foundation of our shared American identity.
The freedom and opportunity we enjoy in America has changed the world, from taking man to the skies, to walking on the moon, to the expansion of civil rights, to the creation of groundbreaking and lifesaving technologies that revolutionized how we live and work.
But the American Dream isn’t just embodied in our nation’s biggest achievements. It’s also about what’s most important to you and your family — the goals that enrich our lives and communities — like starting a corner coffee shop, purchasing a home, or planting roots for future generations.
The prerequisites needed to pursue the American Dream today are no different from those needed to accomplish some of our nation’s greatest achievements. That success depends on creating the right environment for freedom to thrive and inspiring people to seize the opportunity to take bold action.
