Though many subjects are touched on, there’s one word that summarizes this book: liberty. It jumps off every page. While I’ve read books about the Founding Fathers here and there, I’ve never sat down and read their own writings. Honestly, I don’t think I’d have the time, and I wouldn’t know where to start, but I think it’s really important that Americans learn more about the history of their founding, including me. I remember teachers always saying the primary sources are the most important. Well, this book ticks every box! In one short book, I’m able to interact with their actual words, and not just one, but a vast array of the Founders (even Lincoln, Douglass, and some others outside their time). The entire book is all in their own words– and the quotes in the book are so relevant to today, you’ll freak out. You’d seriously think they were talking about today, like when they talk about the press, or political parties. It’s uncanny. The author tackles different topics for each chapter, and actually pieces together different quotes from all of them to form one seamless statement– you’d think it’s one person speaking. After reading this book, I feel like I have a much stronger, comprehensive understanding of what the Founders believed, and it has really informed my view of the current state of affairs in our country. This book is going to be a go-to reference for me (I had never even heard of some of these quotes from the Founders’, and they are incredibly powerful!), and it should be on the reading list of every school!.

There is more wisdom in this one book that in the volumes of government documents and Congressional bills passed in the last 100 years.. It brings together the greatest minds who have shaped our nation, not just those traditionally considered among the Founders.

The Prologue provides a unique and entertaining fictitious introduction by our founding fathers. The author has captured the essence of our founders in the dialogue he created for them, recreating their attitudes that can only be accomplished by careful study of their writings and biographies and of their contemporaries from that time. The book is a rich repository of top quotes from them on a number of topics from Agency to Tyranny including all in-between. I recommend this as a resource to both the neophyte and the scholarly American Student. Its pages help explain the absolute unique experiment that is the United States.

It is nearly impossible to put this book down. The author has managed to consolidate the ethos of our democratic Republic by consolidating the thoughts or words of our founders and other important thinkers from following generations. The index is a who’s who of the most important people of our Republic. Every elected official at every level of government should read this book. Every appointed official that has even a remote connection with policy should read this book. Every thug arrestee from the recent unrest should be forced to read this book and pass a quiz before being released or getting bail. The progressive prosecutors who let them go without any charges should read this book. This book should be used in schools. Students should be required to pass a quiz to advance in grade and another quiz to graduate based on this book. Every citizen should read this book. If they did, perhaps there wouldn’t be so much pining away for Marxism, you know, the system that has failed all around the world. Thank you, Steven Rabb!.”

“Magnificent! I felt like I was there… like I was actually hearing from the Founding Founders.”

Andy M.  Longmont, Colorado

“Powerful and invigorating… The words are so relevant for today’s political environment. It builds up to a crescendo at the end. Amazing!”

Lee M. Woodstock, Georgia

“The message is so timeless, so perfectly written… Absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend The Founders Speech more strongly!”

Collette M.  Boulder, Colorado

“WOW. Seriously. It is a masterpiece… It truly is virtually seamless. This is SUCH a resource. To me, the absolute number one feature of this book that makes it a masterpiece is the seamless nature of it. There may be books of quotes on various topics here and there, but not woven altogether into something so readable. Now, thanks to Steven Rabb’s insight and diligence in meticulously arranging and crafting the finest and most helpful of these Founding texts into a narrative, their words take on a synergy never before experienced. The fact that Mr. Rabb brings such a broad range of voices together in a single powerful speech, progressing through ten themed topics to its dramatic conclusion, is what makes this book so special. The seamless product of The Founders’ Speech leaves a profound impact on the reader. It’s the perfect introduction to works spanning volumes, compacted into a short read. This book will quickly become a classic in American classrooms and in patriotic hearts.”
