Founder’s Origins
Good Day, I am Nick Walker.
Descending from The Founding Americans and as an eighth generation Texan, I am rooted in the soil. I grew up in a house that didn't have a floor in a working class family. Go a couple streets west, and there were gang drivebys. Go a couple streets east on the other side of the tracks, and there were mansions.
That along with having urban and rural friends gave me a unique insight in different facets of socioeconomic life in America. My father did blue collar oil work a while until the recession hit, then returned to building roads and bridges where he'd get in his work truck about 5AM and return at 7PM. My mother who grew up in a negative cycle of trauma, resorted to heavy pharmaceuticals and street drugs which is often the unspoken truth of many families. This and high property taxes further impoverished us, often we had to make the choice between the light bill and the water bill.
The instability of this led to my parents pulling me out of public school at 11. Though I had no guidance, I was always naturally curious so I studied politics, current affairs, geography, and history. Understanding history gave me a greater perspective on modernity and frame of reference from which I can compare things to.
Naturally, this led to being a conservative therefore I could never succumb to the depravity around me. I enrolled myself into an online high school program and finished with perfect grades despite everything.
My mother was finally put into a drug rehab. That same day, my father was backed over by an industrial water truck at the job site, driven by an illegal alien who did not have a license. My mother was then pulled out of rehab, and my father, my best friend, died a week later.
This was a dark time as she plunged into meth and nightmarish decay, while I stayed to ensure my sister and her kids were okay. I promised that if I ever made it out of that place, I would help the millions of kids in similar or worse situations. I did not lose faith in myself or in her, as I see the inherent potential in everyone. After over a year, I managed to get her into a rehab, she is still clean today and doing well. I then became the first in my family to go to college, where I'm on the Dean's List, whoever Dean is, anyway.
In my first two semesters, I founded chapters of two organizations, Turning Point USA and The American Conservation Coalition where I led hundreds of unique events, organizing and inspiring hundreds of fellow students. This had also enabled me with the opportunity to travel across the nation to hear from the various political figures of our time. Where I also met many of those in my generation who share the same love I do for our country.
This love is a sort of bond that connects us all. When Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, those in other states came in dangerous conditions to help us. When Hurricane Helene and Milton hit Florida and North Carolina, I took a week off school and drove thousands of miles across the South to help restore communities that have been ravaged. It is this familial bond and willingness to serve and sacrifice that has united our nation from the beginning.
On a whim, I applied to The White House Internship Program. To my surprise, I was accepted, it was and is my only internship. The shutdown due to the government's dysfunction and division put a halt to the program. I spent this time attending or organizing events in DC with those who are influential, passionate, and patriotic. For the last two weeks of the shutdown, I campaigned in New Jersey where I met many good honest folks from various backgrounds. This made me realize that there are no blue states or red states, only blue or red governments.
The government then resumed along with the internship. I continued my task of reading all the letters sent to the President from every state, aged 4 to 105. I have heard their unique struggles. One wrote on considering suicide, but that the bullet would be too expensive. The people who feel forgotten are not forgotten and are not alone. Hearing their stories is heavy, as is our national situation, but it is for this people we must bear any burden.
The power of hope will overcome nihilism, the power of purpose will overcome apathy. Thus, I am organizing those with talent, energy, and dedication to a higher ideal to immediately act, renewing our unity, restoring our land, and reviving our spirit. By meeting the demand and expectations of our people that other organizations have not.
This isn't a mere political device but a movement uniting men and women, the classes, the generations, rural and urban America, small business owners, veterans, and so forth. We do this by aspiring to greatness and by never being beholden to cynical interests. The Nation is two things, a people and their land each sustaining each other thus it is our duty to both. This is our Valley Forge and we will guide our American people from the winter of despair to the spring of hope and invigorated national life.
Upon this foundation, we have three pillars and twelve points that represent and serve the essential nucleus of our nation. We will conserve tradition worth conserving and promote progress worth promoting. In this infinite universe, nothing is ever stagnant, either something is growing or shrinking. Thus, we move with energy over entropy to maintain momentum. An idea alone is mere academia, action without an idea is wasted action. One must have both, as ideas in a void are meaningless, and great ideas demand great action.
