Episode 406, The Andrew Parker Show – “There is hope for our Constitution!” with Speaking Proudly ambassadors Julia Burke and Rosalyn Tressel.

In this inspiring episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew is joined by two exceptional young women—Julia Burke and Rosalyn Tressell—ambassadors of Speaking Proudly, a unique oratory competition for high school girls centered on civics and the U.S. Constitution.

Speaking Proudly invites students to explore foundational questions like “What does it mean to secure the blessings of liberty?” and “What is the consent of the governed?” Through deep research, rhetorical training, and public presentation, participants not only gain confidence but emerge with a sharpened understanding of American democracy and the role of informed citizenship.

Julia and Rosalyn reflect on their experiences preparing and delivering their speeches at the Minnesota State Capitol, the transformative power of civic education, and how this competition sparked their personal interest in public policy, politics, and leadership.

Whether you're a parent, educator, student, or policy enthusiast, this episode is a reminder of why civic knowledge matters—and how it can light the path toward stronger communities and future leadership.
