The American dream is on trial each and every day. That trial is being held in every state – in our schools, in our small businesses, and in our legislative chambers. It is conducted on social media, in the news, and in our courts. At stake are two fundamentally opposed ways of life – one in which economic reality, the rule of law, and the separation of powers matter and one in which mob rule and economic and cultural Leftism dictate the conduct of every second of our lives.

Florida has, over the past 25 years, proven that concentrating on limiting the footprint of government, fiscal conservatism, and ceaseless pushback against Leftism results in economic prosperity and growth unlike anything ever seen.

Florida is key to the American dream and ensuring America stands like Reagan’s shining city upon a hill. Florida’s decisions have profound implications for the other 49 states, especially those that have the potential for conservative policy wins. While a state like California may be a generation away from abandoning failure, the same cannot be said for Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. We see before us a once-in-a-century opportunity, in collaboration with on-the-ground partners around the country, to provide replicable policies and programs to other states toward the goal of freedom and prosperity nationwide.

Here are some quick comparisons between the failed state of California and Florida, a state with a proven track record of good public policy:
