John xxxxxx,

On this Fourth of July, I’d like to invoke a different American theme than what we are used to. The fireworks and glorification of war is but one aspect of the American psyche. The time has come to elevate another one – the aspiration expressed in songs like “America the Beautiful” and “This Land is Your Land.”

Despite decades of warlike behavior abroad and environmental destruction at home, America remains an incredibly beautiful nation. Much health and vitality still remains in our “purple mountains majesty,” our “amber waves of grain,” our broad forests, rivers, wetlands, and coasts. 

Underneath the warlike behavior of past decades still remains a reservoir of goodwill that seeks to bring peace to the world and to avoid the “foreign entanglements” and “adventures abroad” our Founders warned against, except when compelled by dire necessity. 

On this Fourth of July, let us celebrate the beauty of America and the basic goodness of the American people. Let us resolve to hold these precious, and to live up to the magnificent future that they promise.

This land is your land. This land is my land. Please join me in making it the best it can possibly be.

Chip in $3, $5, $25, or whatever you can to help grow our campaign to put Robert F. Kennedy in the White House!

Happy 4th of July!

Sincerely,

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
