Dawn’s Early Light
Taking Back Washington to Save America
About the Book
America is on the brink of destruction. A corrupt and incompetent elite has uprooted our way of life and is brainwashing the next generation. Many so-called conservatives are as culpable as their progressive counterparts.
In this ambitious and provocative book, Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts announces the arrival of a New Conservative Movement. His message is simple: Global elites—your time is up.
Dawn’s Early Light blazes a promising path for the American people to take back their country. Chapter by chapter, it identifies institutions that conservatives need to build, others that we need to take back, and more still that are too corrupt to save: Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the New York Times, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education, BlackRock, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy, to name a few.
All these need to be dissolved if the American way of life is to be passed down to future generations.
The good news is, we’re going to win.
The Swamp is so drunk on power that the elites don't realize the ground is moving beneath their feet. In Washington, they wear foreign flags on their lapels, but they don’t protect our border. They wave around the Constitution, but they don’t respect its wisdom. They appeal to Reagan, but Reagan would never put up with this non-sense.
Their decadence will be their downfall. A new day is here.
Never before has a figure with Roberts’ depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism... We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

There aren’t many public policy executives in Washington who actually understand where the world is going or why. In fact, I’ve met just one: Kevin Roberts of The Heritage Foundation. This is his plan to save America. It’s deep and wise.”

Any American who wants to understand how we the people can restore America and usher in its greatest era should read Dr. Kevin Roberts’ new book, “Dawn’s Early Light.” Dr. Roberts brilliantly explains how decades of weak leadership, elitism, leftist ideology, and moral decay has led to America’s steep decline and how the American people can turn it around. “Dawn’s Early Light” is the roadmap we need to get America back on track.”
