by Mitt Romney
First published 2010
Mitt Romney argues that America faces serious threats from rising powers like China and Russia while radical Islam grows stronger. He criticizes President Obama's apologies to European nations, Latin America, and the Muslim world during his early presidency. Romney traces how American advantages have weakened through manufacturing decline, poor education that fails to produce enough engineers and scientists, financial corruption, and crushing entitlement costs. The country now carries too much debt and lacks preparation for coming challenges. Romney offers concrete plans to rebuild industry, create jobs, cut entitlement and healthcare spending, improve schools, and strengthen the military after eight years of war. He calls for renewed citizenship and shared purpose instead of individual demands. His proposals often oppose both Obama's policies and traditional Republican positions, but all aim to restore American political and economic power.
