John,

I’m sure you’re getting ready to have a cool drink and fire up the grill, so I’ll make this quick. As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, I want to say that I love this country and believe in the work we’re doing to make it a better place. 

Thanks to the current administration and support from people like Virginia Foxx, the rights our founders guaranteed us 250 years ago are being threatened today. Luckily, America is a country built on perseverance and I know that as long as we keep working towards a better future, we will have one.

I hope you’re able to celebrate our great nation’s birthday today with good times, fireworks and some rest. 

Happy Independence Day!
