Quoted by President Obama in 2011, the first chapter of this book contains the full text of Teddy Roosevelt's New Nationalism Speech given in Osawatomie, Kansas on August 31, 1910. The following chapters expand on his view for America.

Through the multiple addresses presented in this book during his journey across the country, President Roosevelt explains his philosophies of New Nationalism. He covers issues such as natural resources, states' rights, corporate and political corruption, workers' rights, wages, worker safety, tariffs, taxes, the Supreme Court, honesty and integrity. And much, much more...
From the book:

-- "No man should make a promise before election that he does not intend to keep after election."

-- "One of the fundamental necessities in a representative government such as ours is to make certain that the men to whom the people delegate their power shall serve the people by whom they are elected, and not the special interests."

-- "Special interests... twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will."

-- "The object of government is the welfare of the people."

-- "It is of profound importance that our financial system should be promptly investigated, and so thoroughly and effectively revised as to make it certain that hereafter our currency will no longer fail at critical times to meet our needs."

-- "I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes."

-- "Remember that I believe in state's rights wherever state's rights mean the people's rights. On the other hand, I believe in national rights wherever national rights mean the people's rights"

-- "What we desire -- when I say "we" I am speaking of the American people -- in a tariff is such a measure of protection as will equalize the cost of production here and abroad; and as the cost of production is primarily labor cost, this means primarily a tariff sufficient to make up for the difference in labor cost here and abroad."

-- "No worker should be compelled, as a condition of earning his daily bread, to risk his life and limb, or be deprived of his health, or have to work under dangerous and bad surroundings. His protection in the place where he works should be guaranteed by the laws of the land."

-- "Our ideal should be a rate of wages sufficiently high to enable workmen to live in a manner conformable to American ideals and standards, to educate their children, and to provide for sickness and old age; the abolition of child labor; safety device legislation to prevent industrial accidents; and automatic compensation for losses caused by these industrial accidents."

-- "The union has the same right to exist that the corporation has, and it is as unfair to refuse to deal with it as it is to refuse to deal with the corporation."
