What is Americanism?
It's about being an American and understanding what that means: Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness for ALL citizens. Understanding that this is a great country, not taking
that in arrogance but rather by the grace of God. A country where everyone gets a shot at
greatness; where true equality exists and no one is bound by class, race or gender in society.
In other words, being an American means that no matter what your stake in life when you are
born, you have a chance at succeeding here.
You may want to refer to the TEXTBOOK OF AMERICANISM by Ayn Rand. The subject of these
articles was limited to the sphere of politics, for the purpose of defining and clarifying the
basic principles involved in political issues.

The Declaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of
the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness.
