Hi John,

‌

Last week in Philadelphia, I found myself asking a question I can’t shake.


Do you still believe the American Dream is possible?

‌

We gathered at the National Constitution Center to kick off “One Small Step” —
a yearlong reflection on America’s 250th anniversary — with a live taping of
the “Ruthless” podcast.


As the podcast rolled, I looked out at the audience and thought about how
close we were to where our nation’s story began. Ordinary people, willing to
take responsibility for their future and bold enough to believe they could
shape it.

‌

Many Americans feel that promise slipping away.


More government. Fewer opportunities. A sense that decisions are made for us,
notby us.


But here’s what last week reminded me: Freedom doesn’t defend itself, and
prosperity doesn’t restore itself either.


People do. The American Dream has never been guaranteed. It has always
required action.


The same founding principles that launched this nation still give us the power
to shape what comes next, through our communities, our leaders, and the
policies that expand opportunity rather than limit it.

‌

It’s about asking yourself: What role will I play in America’s next chapter?

Also, here’s a one-minute video

from my conversation with “Ruthless” where I explain the challenges — and the
possible triumphs — of restoring the American Dream.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, Americans believed self-government was worth
the risk. Last week in Philadelphia, I saw proof that belief is still alive —
if we’re willing to act.


Thank you for being part of this moment,
