The assassination of Charlie Kirk should be an alert for all Americans and others. Charlie Kirk was an exceptional young man.
A true leader and faithful Christian and had a vision from a very young age to bring a very important message to his contemporaries designed to counter the Marxist hatred being peddled on campuses. He spoke to his peers with honest and sincere concern about the trajectory of our country.
He was an educator, yet he never spoke down to his audience. He was a moral leader for his generation, leading from a God centered perspective yet never approached preaching. His conversations were important for the fabric of the nation.
He was dedicated to the truth and his deep-seated beliefs. That is why he was silenced and assassinated.
The communist Democratic Party, the leftist ideologues festering in our educational, Islamists and certain members of the media are clearly making war against our precious Republic and driven to dismantle America. We must pray and take action beginning now.
This is a call to action. Two paths lie before us.
One path—the one preferred by the left—leads to government control, racial and gender strife, economic stagnation, murder, identity confusion, a culture of wokeness, a weakened military, removal of God from all aspects of daily life, and the loss of our Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
The other path leads to a restoration of the vision our Founding Fathers had for the country they created a vision that allowed the United States to become the most powerful, prosperous, and free nation on earth.
It’s a vision of a “more perfect union” as described in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution:
“We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Restoring the Founders’ vision by recreating that “more perfect union” described in the Preamble to the Constitution is the end game for America for the 21st century. Laying out a blueprint for achieving this goal is the purpose of our book, America’s End Game for the 21st Century: A Blueprint for Saving Our Country.
The plan we present will allow those of us who still cling to the traditional American values that made America great to save our country.
This is a call to action for all Americans who want to turn our country from its current path—a path leading to destruction—to our former path that will lead to “a more perfect union.”
AMERICA’S FUTURE IS DEPENDENT ON WE THE PEOPLE:
After the Bible, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution, the most important documents for Americans are the Federalist Papers. In Federalist Number 39, James Madison explained that a republic is a government that derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the people and is administered by people holding their office at the pleasure of the people for a limited period during good behavior.
What Madison wrote in Federalist Number 39 still applies today. Our republican form of government still derives its powers from the people, but that will change unless we, the people, stand up, speak out, and fight back against the leftist ideologues who are trying to destroy our country.
If life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are to remain defining characteristics of the American way of life, individuals like you and me are going to have to fight for them. What all Americans can do to preserve our liberties and save our country is spelled out in this book.
Every patriotic American has a role to play. If we are going to save our country, we will have to look through a reality prism, not a political prism for solutions.
HOW TO ACHIEVE AMERICA’S END GAME: THE BLUEPRINT
The United States of America is 249 years old as of this writing. For most of those years, we strived to become the “more perfect union” envisioned by the Founders.
Along the way, America fought a great Civil War to end slavery, two world wars to protect freedom-loving nations across the globe from totalitarian tyranny, a Cold War with the Soviet Union, and a war on terrorism that continues to this day.
Along the way, we righted wrongs that were still a part of our society such as the disenfranchisement of black Americans and women.
As time went by, America moved closer and closer to being that “more perfect union” described in the Preamble to the Constitution. America has never been perfect, but it has always strived to be.
Our country has made mistakes, but it has always strived to learn from them and make the necessary corrections. Therefore, the left’s war on America makes no sense. There is no nation in the world that has worked harder or more consistently to do better and be better.
The left’s attacks on traditional American values and principles are a new phenomenon in the overall history of our country, but in just 60 years leftist ideologues have made a disturbing amount of “progress.” In doing so, they have set America on a path leading to destruction.
Therefore, it is so important for patriots who still want to see our country be that “more perfect union” envisioned by the Founders, stand up, speak out, and join in the battle for America’s soul.
Here is what we must come together and do:
- Achieve an American spiritual revival.
- Preserve the sovereignty, and integrity of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
- Preserve America’s true history by rejecting historical revisionism.
- Preserve free-market capitalism by rejecting socialism.
- Restore patriotism and love of country.
- Overcome various foreign threats that could undermine achieving the End Game.
This is the blueprint we recommend for saving America. This is the blueprint that will allow our country to make continual progress once again toward becoming “a more perfect union.”
This is the blueprint for saving not just our country but the rest of the free world from despotism, because as goes the United States, so goes the rest of the free world.
Charlie, we are with you!
Charlie had a way of speaking to people that was unique to him. His analysis of the future presented to college and high school students provided a pathway for their educational pursuits. We should all embrace his concerns and give voice to the next generation.
Charlie saw many of the youth and students disenfranchised to some degree with little hope of ever being able to afford a life style of their parents. Charlie offered hope and direction in a world that had lost its way.
We will miss you dearly, Charlie. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of Americans.
General Vallely Remembers Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk was an exceptional young man. A true leader and faithful Christian, he had a vision from a very young age to bring a very important message to his contemporaries designed to counter the Marxist hatred being peddled on campuses.
He spoke to his peers with honest and sincere concern about the trajectory of our country. He was an educator, yet he never spoke down to his audience.
He was a moral leader for his generation, leading from a God centered perspective yet never approached preaching. His conversations were important for the fabric of the nation. He was dedicated to the truth and his deep-seated beliefs. That is why he was silenced and assassinated.
We had the honor of hosting a meeting and presentation in 2014 in Montana when Charlie was 19 in years old. In 2013, he had already been politically involved, though not on a stage of his own.
He told me how he wanted to attend my alma mater at West Point. His vision for the college age youth of the country was compelling and his enthusiasm was contagious.
I became one of the first members of the Turning Point USA Board of Directors and assisting him in launching his dream through obtaining his first big donor – Foster Friess for $1,000,000.
We then sponsored an event in 2020 at the start of Covid in Kalispell, Montana. Over 500 Patriots attended this special evening for him. He delivered a marvelous message. The picture below.
Charlie’s life was taken too soon in a senseless act of terrorism. His beautiful wife, Erika and their two young children are now left without Charlie. Knowing the man Charlie was, it is unfathomable how she will be able to find her way forward without the lion of a man she married and being by her side.
Erika will rely heavily on her faith, knowing Charlie is safe in the loving embrace of God. She will need the support of the Turning Point family, their families and the prayers of all who grieve for her loss.
We also grieve for this country. America lost a great leader who touched the heart of the nation with nothing more than words and faith.
Charlie had a way of speaking to people that was unique to him. His analysis of the future presented to college and high school students provided a pathway for their educational pursuits.
We should all embrace his concerns and give voice to the next generation. Charlie saw many of the youth and students disenfranchised to some degree with little hope of ever being able to afford a life style of their parents. Charlie offered hope and direction in a world that had lost its way.
We will miss you dearly, Charlie. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of Americans.

Book Description: America’s long-standing principles and traditional values are under attack by leftist ideologues who reject them outright and are working hard to replace them. We are fast becoming a nation of socialists, secular humanists, atheists, agnostics, and anarchists who want to tear down every virtue enshrined by our Founding Fathers. They want to replace limited government and self-government with big government, an over-reaching monstrosity controlling every aspect of daily American life. America’s End Game shows us how to counter every element of this domestic attack and return to our First Principles. Buy on Amazon in hardcover, Kindle or audio
