What People are Saying About RVA?

February 2011

Learning about the 4 Lost American Ideals was enlightening. I am hopeful that I can instill those ideals in my family, my marriage, my community and as a result strengthen our nation. The time spent during the ReValue America Tour was the best two hours of the week, maybe even the month.  My only regret was that more of my family didn't attend with me.

I was extremely inspired by your lecture. You actually got me to turn off the T.V. and make time to read! I am happy to report that I am halfway through the 5000 year leap, with many other similar books waiting on the sidelines.

Your lecture was exciting, and full of new information that I hadn't heard before. I was very glad I was able to hear your lecture a second time as I was able to absorb what I missed the first time. It is one of the most inspiring, educational, and relevant lectures that EVERYONE needs to hear so that they can understand what happening in our Country. Thank you so much for your inspiration, your motivating and invigorating lecture and for your service in helping to educate others.

Attending your lecture opened my eyes and gave me much hope for the future of my grandchildren and our nation. We attend meetings and listen to lectures only to end up wringing our hands and know not what to do. Well, you are doing something in such a big way by providing the necessary foundation for our youth and fighting the educational system that exists today. It's reassuring for me to know that there are educators out there, like you, who dare fight the system.

The information received was well organized and articulated.  You have a passion for the subject matter and it comes across.  You also have done the research.  Your points were very convincing.  It got me thinking about the education I want to provide for my children.  I have always known that I couldn't rely totally on the public schools to educate them.  But with busy lives and single parenthood it seems I have lost focus on that and defaulted to relying on a system that I know is inadequate.  This lecture sparked that desire in me to become more involved with my children's education again.

Thank you SO MUCH for your Revalue America lecture.  My husband and I both enjoyed it thoroughly, and it's made for some great conversations between us in the days since.  I appreciated learning about the cycle of nations and about how our government has changed from Federalism to Nationalism. I've invested in a set of Great Books, and I look forward to furthering my education.  Thank you so much for your efforts!

I liked the lecture so much that I spent about 20 hours on phone and internet trying to get people to attend on Sun. evening.  I bought the Family Liberty Library and will encourage my children to get information from the books.

Very interesting, good presentation.  Heard about it through a friend and I was not disappointed.  Has given me new thoughts about my direction as a teacher.

Dr. Brooks is a brilliant speaker that keeps his audience engaged and empowered with the idea that each American possesses the power to rise above mediocrity and become a leader.

I really enjoyed your lecture and only wish I were 40 years younger so I could attend your college!!  I applaud your efforts in re-educating Americans and getting the truth out.  Thank you (and your wife) for taking the time to bring your lecture to our 912 Silicon Valley group!

Your presentation is very good, you kept everybody’s attention for the full two hours.  You deliver a strong message, and short term I've gained some new talking points that I've been communicating with friends and acquaintances.

The lecture given by Dr. Shanon Brooks is so interesting that I attended it twice and gained much both times.  I highly recommend this opportunity to any and all. Any one fortunate enough to hear the message Dr. Brooks shares is truly blessed.

Amber Sanchez, Los Gatos, CA


I thoroughly enjoyed your lecture and was very inspired to pay more attention to things I can do to help.  It also gave me ideas that I can share when I'm with my grown children.  So far two of my kids are homeschooling nine grandchildren and I have one more child that wants to when his baby is ready for school.  They all will want to know what I learned from you tonight.  Thank you.

Just a short note to let you know that we enjoyed the lecture.  In fact, myself and my wife went on Thursday in Livermore and on Saturday brought my son to hear the lecture again.
