"The American Dream that we have nursed for so long in this country, and lately neglected, is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American Dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become."

President Ronald Reagan September 29, 1981

Sadly today, the voices of average Americans are being drowned out by special interests. The result: policies that are threatening to destroy the American Dream — higher taxes, bigger spending, job-killing regulations, and ever-bigger government.

But you can send politicians, special interests, and the mainstream media a powerful message, while meeting hundreds of grassroots leaders like yourself from across the country, by attending the Defending the American Dream Summit.

Please join me at Americans for Prosperity Foundation's Defending the American Dream Summit, this October 4-5, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. Click here to REGISTER today.
