Strong Families. Stronger Nation. - General Flynn

General Flynn:

So family is a very personal thing for me and many people don't know, but I lost a sister, my oldest sister in a very tragic accident when I was a young kid. And I think for a lot of families, tragedies sometimes can break things apart. And what we were able to do and I think it was through the strength of my mother and my father together, it actually brought our family even closer together and we really truly understand what the bond of family means. And so when I talk about promoting families, families have been torn apart in this country. The breakdown of families, particularly in communities of color, particularly in the African American community, they break down and the tearing down of families by segments of our political system has been detrimental to the health, the overall health of this country.

So America's Future as one entity and an important entity with an important platform, we are going to continue to promote families. We are going to work with organizations as I've said elsewhere, like Moms For America is an organization, is a nonprofit that's been around since 2004. I've become terrific friends with the leader of that organization, Kimberly Fletcher. And I think that if America's future and Moms For America, and there are other entities, these other organizations out there that promote families, if we are able to coordinate together and really work hard, what we can do is we can raise up the idea of the importance of families and we can highlight how much stronger America can be with a strong family bond as one of the essences of the principles that we actually stand upon as we talk about values for America.

One of the main values for America is the strength of the family unit. And if we can reignite that unit, and we can strengthen it to the point where it becomes really one of the... It's an emotional thing for me, because one of the things that that is super important about our country are the families that founded it and the family structure as we have moved forward. And it's one of the areas that I know in most people, everybody that listens to this knows that our families are breaking down in this country. And in many cases it's being purposely done and we cannot allow that. We cannot allow that. We have to have a structure that includes children. That includes mothers and fathers. That includes siblings and how we take care of each other. And it includes communities of how communities actually look at families and benefit families and promote families, promote the idea of it. So it's super important. And that's one of the primary objectives of America's Future is to get involved in promoting the idea of the family unit.
