"The 2004 presidential election has the potential to be one of the most important in decades. Every fundamental question of national values and national policy is up for debate - or should be . . . . Ron Hirsch's We Still Hold These Truths is a systematic and serious effort to make that debate as clear and valuable as it can be. Agree or disagree with his specific conclusions, the questions he is asking are the right ones for the public this year."

“Across America we are witnessing the stirrings of a progressive revival, a reawakening of the democratic spirit that time and again has enabled us to transcend narrow self-interest and recover our national purpose. With We Still Hold These Truths, Ronald Hirsch has made a thoughtful and valuable contribution to that revival.”
—John D. Podesta, President and CEO, Center for American Progress,
Former Clinton White House Chief of Staff
“Mr. Hirsch demonstrates that the solutions to today’s national and international problems lie in the heritage of liberal democracy, as rooted in American history. This is a sensible and engaging call to reality. It deserves to be read by every American. I recommend it with enthusiasm.”
—James Schmiechen, Professor of History Central Michigan University
“We Still Hold These Truths is a concise, provocative, and challenging interpretation of the expectations, rights and obligations of citizens envisaged by the Founders in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. ... A good, thought-provoking read for all who are about the pivotal issues facing the leaders of the United States."
—Michael Phillips, VP (retired) Motorola International Inc.
“As the nation approaches the 2004 election, the insightful comments, fresh approach, and fervor of Mr. Hirsch will provide a much-needed stimulus to policymakers, thought leaders, and the Democratic Party. It will also provide millions of moderate and liberal Americans who have been wandering in the desert of the Bush administration with a vision for our country and a call to action to which they will heartily respond.”
—Elaine Weiss, former Regional Director, U.S. Dept. of Heath and Human Services
"We Still Hold These Truths is written with a clarity that is rare in political works. ... Well-researched and documented, Truths sweeping coverage of the American political scene solidifies Hirsch's view that the Constitution is not only a document that ensures our individual freedoms, but a blueprint for a centrist/Liberal government. ... If you call yourself a Democrat, Liberal or Centrist, you must read this book."
