BESTSELLER #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER No American leader has accomplished more for his state than
Governor Ron DeSantis. 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 Ron DeSantis 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. Since becoming governor of the Sunshine State he has
fought-and won-battle after battle defeating not just opposition from the political left but
a barrage of hostile media coverage proclaiming the end of the world. When he implemented
COVID-19 policies based on evidence and focused on freedoms the press launched a smear
campaign against him yet Florida's economy thrived its education system outperformed the
nation and Florida's COVID mortality rate for seniors was lower than that in thirty-eight
states. When he enacted policies to keep leftist political concepts like critical race theory
and woke gender ideology out of Florida's classrooms the media demagogued his actions but
parents across Florida rallied to his cause. Dishonest attacks from the media don't deter him.
In fact DeSantis keeps racking up wins for Floridians. In 2022 the governor delivered a
historic record-setting victory winning by nearly 20 points and more than 1.5 million votes.
A firsthand account from the blue-collar boy who grew up to take on Disney and Dr. Fauci The
Courage to Be Free delivers something rare from an elected leader: stories of victory. 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.
