EBMBD: It's a book that should be a part of school curriculum, as a history lesson.

Amazon Customer: Loved it, and currently in the thought that The Founders are rolling-over in their respective graves because when we ask the obvious question "what would The Founders say", we find our answer.
" A too great in attention to our past occurrences retards and bewilders our judgement in everything. On the contrary, by comparing what is past with what is present, we frequently hit on the true character of both, and become wise with very little trouble." -- Thomas Paine

Amazon Customer: I loved this book! Reminds one what passion our founders had for this country and how we must work to maintain our freedom, not take it for granted because a smooth talking charlatan will try to undermine our faith in our institutions.

Amazon Customer: In The Founders’ Speech to a Nation in Crisis, Steven Rabb has done something remarkable and incredibly timely. He has contextualized and made immediately relevant the most crucial aspects of America’s core principles and done so in just the right way and at perhaps the most needed time.

By drawing our nation’s founders out of history to view and comment on the present from their perspectives, and in their own words, Rabb challenges us to think about what could be possible were we to faithfully reapply the same core principles of freedom and rights that inspired much of the world, to the divisive issues and ideologies of the present day.

Any student of history would recognize the biting relevancy of Rabb’s premise.

stoutdog: The warnings from the Founders contained in this volume astound me for their vision that have been proven so correct hundreds of years later, and this just decades after forming this nation.

These writings here are not for casual reading but to be read and re-read, highlighted and memorized. I find myself yelling HA out loud as I read another nugget to my liking. Chapter 7 Tyranny was my favorite and sadly, true for these days.

I like having all these quotes available in my arsenal for future reference. My only negative and reason for my one star deduction is for the layout. I don't care for the Bible type verse numbers for each author and think they should be deleted. I would also have preferred that each writing be on a new line and then followed by the authors name.

Sadly, the wisdom in this book has been around over two hundred years but has fallen on deaf ears. I wish for the America that was framed but with human nature being what it is, no one with power will voluntarily give it up for the good of our nation. In a free society corruption is bound to breed by the selfish. So here we sit reading these pages with heartache and frustration wishing the...
