About this audiobook
Marco Rubio's parents came to the United States in 1956. The country they found was truly a land of opportunity, where hardworking people with grade school educations could afford a home, a car, and college for their kids. A country where maids and bartenders could raise doctors, lawyers, small-business owners, and maybe even a U.S. senator. That was the American Dream-our country's central promise to its people: If you work hard and play by the rules, you'll find tremendous opportunities and an even better life for your children.
Rubio wrote this book because we stand at a critical juncture. What kind of country are we going to be? Will we surrender to Obamacare and other laws that crush innovation and entrepreneurship? Will we accept a powerful nanny state and the erosion of family values? Will we allow politics to kill the American Dream? Or will we rise to the challenge-and take back our legacy as the only nation on earth that offers unrestricted opportunity to all?
In this book you'll meet an over-regulated small-businessman, a struggling single mother, an out-of-work and in-debt college graduate, and others who want nothing more than their own shot at the American Dream. Their stories are our stories; their challenges are our challenges.
Of course no book or politician can single-handedly restore the American Dream. But a movement, working to promote the values and can-do spirit that made our country exceptional, can turn everything around.
Marco Rubio
MARCO RUBIO has represented Florida in the United States Senate since 2010, where he has one guiding objective: bring the American Dream back into the reach of those who feel it slipping away. He currently serves on several committees and is vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, where he oversees our nation’s intelligence and national security apparatus. Nonpartisan analyses by GovTrack and the Center for Effective Lawmaking have ranked him the Senate’s number two leader and most effective Republican. Senator Rubio was born in Miami, after his parents came to the United States from Cuba in search of the American Dream. He lives there today with his wife, Jeanette, and their four children.
