Text ”freedom” to (202) 918-5348 In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Daniel Bassali, Vice President of Public Affairs at Americans for Prosperity, to reflect on America’s 250th anniversary and the importance of reconnecting with the nation’s founding principles. Daniel shares how initiatives like the Declaration Project are encouraging Americans to revisit the full meaning of the Declaration of Independence—not just its famous lines, but the deeper ideas about liberty, equality, and the role of government. The conversation also explores the growing divide in public discourse, the decline in national pride, and how focusing on shared values can help bring Americans together again.
