The principles of True Americanism, enshrined in our founding documents, are not mere abstractions or historical curiosities. They are living, breathing ideals that demand our constant vigilance and active defense. And there has rarely been a moment in our history when that defense was more urgently needed than it is today.
True Americanism is a philosophy that transcends traditional political divides by returning to the core values that animated our nation's founding.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
For too long, we have misunderstood what the founders meant by the "pursuit of happiness." Drawing on John Adams' own words, we discover that happiness consists of "ease, comfort, security" - the essential foundations that allow every person to live with dignity and pursue their potential.
True Americanism recognizes that political liberty cannot be separated from economic justice, that concentrated power - whether political or economic - threatens the very fabric of our republic, and that we all share a responsibility to create conditions where every American can thrive.
The philosophical foundation of True Americanism rests on these interconnected principles:
Every person is born equal in their humanity and inherits the same fundamental rights, regardless of background, identity or circumstance.
