''We Still Hold These Truths'' is a 2009 non-fiction political history book by Matthew Spalding, who is Director of American Studies at The Heritage Foundation. In November 2009, the book reached number two on the ''Washington Post'' non-fiction bestseller list. ==Overview== Spalding's focus in the book is the United States' "first principles", his belief that those principles have been betrayed by the American Left, and his plan for how conservatives can work to restore the vision of the Founding Fathers. Spalding takes the reader through the earliest days of American history to the present, demonstrating these principles were understood by the Founders and shaped the U.S. national identity. According to Spalding, the erosion of these principles began with the Progressives of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who believed in centralization, bureaucracy, relativism and a lack of absolute truths, and who, Spalding writes, sought to undermine the vision of the U.S. Constitution's framers.〔 Spalding calls today's liberals "pimps for the new progressivism," inspired by New Dealers and proponents of the Great Society.〔 Spalding also writes that recent Republican electoral victories and the successes of the Tea Party demonstrate that Americans still believe in the vision outlined by the Founding Fathers, and that a debate over the Constitution has been given new life everywhere from law schools to the federal government.〔 The book's foreword is written by conservative commentator William Bennett, who writes that ''We Still Hold These Truths'' "makes a clear and compelling case for America's principles as an enduring source of real, practical guidance for today explaining how we got so far off track, and laying out how to get our nation back on course."〔
