A member of the Republican Party from New York, he served as Housing Secretary in the administration of President George H. W. Bush from 1989 to 1993, having previously served nine terms in the United States House of Representatives from 1971 to 1989.

“There’s no limit to what free men and free women in a free market with free enterprise can accomplish when people are free to follow their dream.”

Jack Kemp just described the ‘American Dream’ in his quote above.

Following your dream is the right of everyone.  Despite obstacles, limitations, health, wealth …. we can all work towards following our dreams.

Since July is the month commemorating freedom, this quote embodies significant meaning!

But let’s make this personal!  What are you doing today to follow your dream?  Are you planning and making goals to act upon?  I hope so as your success in realizing your dreams helps each of us do the same.
