Falling in Love with America Again Description
In his new role as president and CEO of The Heritage Foundation, Jim DeMint has travelled the country talking to Americans about how to return to our founding principles and restore and protect our economy and culture for future generations. He's realized that he-and all of us as fellow citizens-must fall in love with America-again.
In this book, DeMint introduces Americans all across the country who are working towards the same goal, We see example after example of Americans coming together locally in what DeMint calls the "little platoons"-the families, churches, communities and voluntary organizations succeeding on the model that smaller is better. They are the hands-on citizens who make America the exceptional, caring and can-do country it has always been.
DeMint illustrates why each of us-regardless of political party, age, race, religion or ethnicity-must rediscover the power we represent. The country's future is at risk, not just because of constant pressure from "the Bigs" (big government, big banks, big labor, big Wall Street cronies etc.), but because so many of us fear it's too late to solve problems so huge and seemingly intractable. Jim DeMint is here to reassure us that this is not true.
In riveting yet plainspoken style, he tells real-life success stories and affirms the compelling truth that conservative ideas are really American ideas, and they must guide us as we turn our institutions upside-down, taking them from the top-down centrally-controlled bureaucracies they've become back to the bottom-up democratic framework the Constitution intended.
Through this heartfelt, fascinating and inspiring look inside the America of both yesterday and today, and the everyday citizens who are working tirelessly and selflessly to insure its future fulfills the promise of its beginnings, Jim DeMint is beckoning us to join him on one of the most meaningful and momentous journeys we have ever undertaken together: FALLING IN LOVE WITH AMERICA AGAIN.

Wow! The previous 2 comments were made by people that didn't, read this book. I give it 5 stars so far. I as well just got the book and I can't put it down. I can see in my life how important platoons are in everyone's life. The stories of the people in the book are fantastic! I see why America is so great with so many great people we never hear about helping so many people and turning their lives around.

Excellent read, excellent message. Have bought extra copies to give to friends and acquaintances. This is a no-nonsense message that needs to get out to all those, both conservative and liberal (which by definition means being open-minded), who actually have an open mind to embrace something other than their strict party line messages. I will certainly be working to get the message out over the next couple of years, in the hopes that we will have better choices by the time of the next election than we did at the last one (and I don't consider Hillary Clinton to be a "better choice" unless her platform is different than it was last time).
