What kind of people would rise up to defeat the most powerful empire on earth? And how did they win? These are the questions The Founders' Speech To Save America answers through the crafting of the Founders' words into a heartfelt and relevant speech to America today.
The Founder's Speech To Save America gives readers a front-row seat to hear firsthand how the Founding Fathers defeated tyranny. The ten themed chapters of the speech begin with the faith and families of the founding generation, what they taught their kids and believed about their God-given rights, and who they were as a people.
As the narrative develops, the founding generation of Americans find their rights, liberties, and families threatened by tyrants, and the book continues to show how these patriots united through an underground communications network that, as John Adams stated, made thirteen clocks strike together as one.
Readers will hear the words of the Founding Fathers as they trained in militias to be ready at a moment's notice, pressured tax commissioners to resign, homespun clothes and gave up every import to boycott British goods, burned effigies, sang songs in the streets, held each other publicly accountable, and won the hearts and minds of the people and, ultimately, their liberty!
The work serves as an instruction manual for patriots today to stand for and defend their rights, as a call to organize and defeat those who seek to destroy them, and as a reminder that we must restore the faith and character of the people if we are to retain our liberties.
It's a powerful story. It's the stock we are made of. It's a heritage that can still unite us to win.

This book is a compilation of thoughts and observations I have had and have come about based on my life experiences. It focuses on our mindsets, plain and simple. In society, today, among communities of varying nationalities exist, many issues and problems. One of the most identifiable issues or problems is the mindset of people.
Mindsets determine results, and results are the conclusion of one's mindset.
Mental programming is a reflection of people's mindsets. In most cases, one will become the product of how they program their mindsets. The program of a mindset determines how one speaks and thinks about themselves, how they conduct themselves, and how they represent themselves.
The Tataviam are a small California tribe from northern Los Angeles County. Tataviam means people facing the sun. It is what our neighbors to the north, the Kitenemuk tribe, called us. We, the Tataviam people, believe we have lived in Tataviam territory since time immemorial. The Santa Clarita Valley is the center of Tataviam territory-it is our heart. In order for tribal cultures to survive, we must sing new songs and tell new stories. This is my original creation story. I tell it in the spirit of my Tataviam ancestors.
