"No American leader has accomplished more for his state than Governor
Ron

. Now he reveals how he did it. He played baseball for Yale, graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, and served in Iraq and in the halls of Congress. But in all these places,

learned the same lesson: He didn't want to be part of the leftist elite. His heart was always for the people of Florida, one of the most diverse and culturally rich states in the union.

This book is a winning blueprint for patriots across the country. And it is a rallying cry for every American who wishes to preserve our liberties."--jacket.
