In his new role as president and CEO of The Heritage Foundation, Jim DeMint has travelled the country talking to Americans about how to return to our founding principles and restore and protect our economy and culture for future generations. He's realized that he-and all of us as fellow citizens-must fall in love with America-again.
In this book, DeMint introduces Americans all across the country who are working towards the same goal, We see example after example of Americans coming together locally in what DeMint calls the "little platoons"-the families, churches, communities and voluntary organizations succeeding on the model that smaller is better. They are the hands-on citizens who make America the exceptional, caring and can-do country it has always been.
DeMint illustrates why each of us-regardless of political party, age, race, religion or ethnicity-must rediscover the power we represent. The country's future is at risk, not just because of constant pressure from "the Bigs" (big government, big banks, big labor, big Wall Street cronies etc.), but because so many of us fear it's too late to solve problems so huge and seemingly intractable. Jim DeMint is here to reassure us that this is not true.
In riveting yet plainspoken style, he tells real-life success stories and affirms the compelling truth that conservative ideas are really American ideas, and they must guide us as we turn our institutions upside-down, taking them from the top-down centrally-controlled bureaucracies they've become back to the bottom-up democratic framework the Constitution intended.
Through this heartfelt, fascinating and inspiring look inside the America of both yesterday and today, and the everyday citizens who are working tirelessly and selflessly to insure its future fulfills the promise of its beginnings, Jim DeMint is beckoning us to join him on one of the most meaningful and momentous journeys we have ever undertaken together: FALLING IN LOVE WITH AMERICA AGAIN.

Latin Heritage Foundation is pleased to introduce readers to this anthology composed of talented writers from around the World. The authors are genuine writers. And not because they create stories. Anybody at some point in their lives can write well, but in this particular case, they produce real art that not only meets the formal parameters of the unit bottom-form, but comes to the deeper intricacies of the soul of every human being who loves the beauty of the word. Their stories come from places geographically and culturally diverse as USA, India, Canada, England, Nigeria, Philippines, China, Romania, Germany, and many more. The writers are committed to their origins and roots but each story shows a serenade of love and life, universal feelings, and however abstract, they are still the most important values as are the constant questioning of man's relationship to life and the vicissitudes that it offers. The writer does not live oyster locked in a tight under the sea, but is related to daily social surroundings that sometimes exceeds and even annihilates him/her.The veins of these wordsmiths run the sap purest writing. We believe it will be a real joy for the reader to enter in the pages of this must have book. Reading and enjoyment of this work allows a better understanding of the world. The publication of the Anthology is also one of the best examples of The Latin Heritage Foundation interest to preserve, promote and disseminate the rich heritage and values of universal culture. Deeply linked to the vicissitudes of history, the stories express both everyday reality and the mythic roots of its inhabitants. This is, without doubt, the form of creative writing more rooted in the World oral tradition. The authors, quite rightly, have earned a place in this book because once, long time ago decided to venture and penetrate the interiorities of the magic kingdom of literature and all the subtle range of feelings, motivations and commitments that such engagement involves- a decision sometimes confusing, sometimes vague, but carries however, both level of accuracy and knowledge of a language so much that sometimes trying to escape from its hands does not support art in any way. In it, you are, or are not. We can only wish you to enjoy reading these beautiful stories. If this occurs, this will be our greatest satisfaction, and we will be more than rewarded.
