Why I Wrote Reviving America
Why I Wrote Reviving America
Having lived through nearly one-third of America's existence, I've had the opportunity to witness extraordinary change in our country.
As America approached its 250th anniversary, I found myself returning to Benjamin Franklin's famous response when asked what kind of government the Constitutional Convention had created:
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
That led me to a simple question:
How are we doing?
Reviving America: A Civil Discussion Framework grew from that question. I wanted to compare the America envisioned at our Founding with the America of today—not to promote a political viewpoint or claim to have all the answers, but to create a framework for a thoughtful conversation about our country's strengths, challenges, and future.
I've been fortunate to achieve much of my own version of the American dream. My hope is that the generations that follow—including my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren—inherit a country where even more Americans have the opportunity to pursue theirs. Reviving America is my contribution to that conversation about America's next 250 years.
I invite you to bring your perspective to it.
