Items related to The True Patriot
It’s been hijacked by the right and abandoned by the left, but the principles of true patriotism — country above self, responsible stewardship, equality, shared sacrifice and service — are inherently progressive. The True Patriot challenges progressives to retake patriotism. Written in the pamphleteering style of Thomas Paine, it presents a manifesto, ten-principal plan, and moral code that reframe the concept of patriotism and return politics to what it once was: a civic virtue and responsibility that fueled the country’s founders.

A must read for progressives and conservatives alike.

Nick Hanauer and Eric Liu are true patriots and certifiable American heroes for clearly articulating the nexus between our country's most cherished first principles and core progressive values. Rich with historic references and respectful of beliefs across a broad spectrum of American progressive and conservative political thought, this book provides an invaluable point of departure for a long overdue and robust national conversation about how we re-connect to America's core values, re-define our role in the world of the twenty-first century, and re-dedicate our national purpose to justice, prosperity and security for all at home and abroad. -- Rob Stein, founder, Democracy Alliance
