244 years ago, our founding fathers declared independence from the British
Empire. In doing so, they began the process of building one of the most
open political systems for free speech, dissent, and democracy that the
world has ever seen.

Surrounding that beginning was a set of fundamental values – life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Every person who holds those values
in their heart is a patriot of the United States.

Looking back on those ideals through our modern context is hard. It is
clear that even as those words were written, too many people lived without
access to them. To this day, we struggle in the pursuit of ensuring that
every one of our neighbors can live up to that American dream.

It is our obligation as leaders today to do everything in our power to
fulfill that promise tomorrow, because everyone is just as deserving of
the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as they were 244
years ago.

We live in a tumultuous era for our democracy. Many folks with power have
used our differences to drive wedges between us and our neighbors. But as
Abraham Lincoln said in his 1858 July 4th speech, there is but one quality
that one must fulfill to be a “real” American: If you believe in equality
and liberty, you are flesh of the flesh and blood of the blood of the
American founders.

That is our unifying mission. So this July 4th, we’re wishing you as much
happiness and success as you can find in these uncertain times. [ [link removed] ]If

Thank you for everything,
