“The American Dream is founded on the ideals of
equality, opportunity, and fair play. These are moral
reference points for Americans, matters of conscience.
History has shown us time and again that these ideals are
motivating. My own life, and the lives of millions of
Americans through generations, has demonstrated their power.
We need to stop confining our ideals to national holidays
and static monuments, and bring them back into our
conversations and our politics. We need to let them lead us
to the right choices and away from the wrong ones. This is
the essence of patriotism. As we decide what kind of country
we want to live in, it is time for America’s true patriots,
by whatever political label, to shape the fate of the
nation.” Faith in the Dream is a short, but
powerful eBook and a call to action by one of the nation’s
most inspirational public figures, Massachusetts Governor
Deval Patrick. Our country is at a critical crossroads and
Americans of all political persuasions sense that something
significant is at stake. In this first-of-its-kind eBook,
designed to launch a nationwide online conversation,
Governor Patrick shows how and why the American Dream
itself—the ability of future generations to inherit a
country and a life better, more prosperous, and more
progressive than that of their forbears—is today very much
up for grabs, and what we must all do to restore
it. The challenges are daunting, but we cannot sink
into anger, defeat, or despair; we must rise to the
challenge of protecting the American Dream at all costs.
Governor Patrick offers us a path for the future that is
built on the best time-honored values of our past and on the
powerful role that citizens can play when they come together
in support of the common good. Rather than attack
government, give up on it, or take it for granted, Patrick
heralds our responsibility as Americans to reclaim it, and
demand that political leaders stay true to our country’s
most fundamental values. Offering a modern twist on
the time-honored tradition of political pamphlets and
perfectly timed for this election season, this is a
must-read book—and a stirring invitation to participate—for
anyone who cares about the fate of our nation and the
sanctity of the American Dream.
