This book examines the promises that America has given to all of its citizens. These promises began with the "Declaration of Independence" in 1774 and continue to present day. Has America lived up to those promises and what can be done to push that progress along. Data and illustrations are provided to give a clear picture of the past, present and the future. Together, the many elements in this book will give you a more complete understanding of how collectively, we can reach the goal that our forefathers intended but we first need to level set and see where we fell short to proceed. We have the wherewithal, the will and the expertise to make this happen if we're simply curious, open minded and honest. It is not possible to read this publication and not be more aware and willing to do what's best for country and your community. The overarching message is powerful but easily digestible. It may take some different views than the norm but all for the good of America!
