An excerpt from Rick Santorums Blue Collar Conservatives: If we really become the party of opportunity for working Americans, we’ll go a long way towards solving the problem of minority voters’ estrangement from us. The elites of the Democratic Party, I’m sorry to say, have raised the politics of racial and ethnic division to an art form. The way for Republicans to win the votes of minorities is not to out-pander the Democrats but simply appeal to them as working Americans who want to take part in the American Dream—a dream that shouldn’t be the exclusive property of Ivy Leaguers and investment bankers. Restoring the American Dream does not mean going back in time. Conservatives are often criticized for their romanticized view of the good old days prior to the culture shock that was the 1960’s. Having said that, let’s make no mistake about it—the greatest threat to the average American’s achieving his dream today is a dysfunctional culture. To heal our nation, we must promote the ideals upon which American culture has thrived for over two centuries—ideals based on timeless truths. Our challenge is to redeem and recommit to the timeless truths that set America on a course to greatness and to formulate policies consistent with those truths in a world that has changed dramatically since World War II. This book is all about what we as a party and a movement can do to help the blue collar conservatives, working Americans trying to set things right for their families, their communities, and their country. __________________________________________________ Get your copy soon! ptrtvoic.es/1fElk3B
