Tom Sodeika, Founder & CEO, Freedom Square, Inc. November 5, 2024, was a day America sat on pins and needles. Would the country continue its rapid decline, or would it wake up from a nightmare and course-correct? Late in the evening, relief and hope surged across the nation with the election of Donald J. Trump and majority victories in the House and Senate. This victory is an opportunity for America to change direction and return to a constitutional republic, moving toward a brighter future rooted in liberty, security, and values that nourish the soul. The election is much like June 6, 1944, when the Allied forces took the beachheads in Normandy—the real fight is yet to come. Many of us have watched our nation decline since 2008, with that decline accelerating dramatically after the 2020 election. Our country has been deeply affected by the infiltration of Marxist, woke, and anti-Western ideology in nearly every institution of society. Moreover, this twisted ideology has reached the highest levels of power, influencing policies that are anathema to a free and faithful people. The road ahead will be a slog. The institutions, those in power will not go gently into the night. As Americans unite and again realize that we are the majority that honor Faith, Family, Freedom and Service, it is time to exercise our agency and with courage. We all have our assets as individuals and organizations. The effort to reclaim the mantle for America requires time, treasury, muscle and courage. Most of us are unable to supply all or some. But if we can determine our contribution and find the right benefactor, we can make a positive impact quickly. There are great people and organizations doing the heavy lifting that need support. Some Freedom Chamber members are in the fight and am happy to share them with you. Turning Point USA, Moms for America, Restoration of America Foundation, America’s Wall of Honor Foundation, OMG-O’Keefe Media Group and Open The Books are working everyday to return our America to the people. Freedom Chamber was formed and launched to unite patriotic businesses and entrepreneurs as America’s small business community. Our mission is to amplify our voices in Washington, D.C., and state capitals, expand economic opportunities, and do our part in restoring the American Dream. Let Freedom Thrive in 2025!
