Our Heritage is our Future

Thanksgiving, The Family Table, And A Playbook For The Work Ahead

By Kevin Roberts, Heritage Foundation

A few excerpts from his Thanksgiving message:

"Let the talking begin this week — and let our conversations be an invitation to those we love to once again find unity in our purpose, first as families and then as a nation."

Ronald Reagan is often remembered for saying, “All great change in America begins at the dinner table.” What is left out, however, is the line that follows: “So, tomorrow night in the kitchen, I hope the talking begins.

And children, if your parents haven’t been teaching you what it means to be an American, let ’em know and nail ’em on it. That would be a very American thing to do.”

Let there be no mistake; we are taking back Washington to save America. That puts a target on us — from the uniparty, the entrenched bureaucracy, and the deep state. Now may be a suitable time to reiterate with clarity our message to the purveyors of the status quo: Bring it on.

Our Heritage is our future. Through it, together, we will save the republic and secure its future.
