Happy Independence Day!!!

[Kathryn Ball]

This is from Jim DeMint, President to the Heritage Foundation...................

Today marks the 240th year of American independence. Independence that was realized because of our Founders’ belief in individual liberty.

240 years ago our Founders made pivotal decisions and they faced immense challenges in order to secure freedom for themselves and their posterity. They were willing to sacrifice everything they had for this cause. Many of them did.

The result? The greatest nation the world has ever seen.

Today, as we celebrate our nation’s independence, we are faced with many of the same decisions as our Founders. As Americans, we can choose to be complacent and watch our freedoms slip away, or we can choose to stand and fight for our nation’s future. The choice is yours and mine.

As Ronald Reagan once said,

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Let’s not be the generation that allows freedom to slip away.

I am grateful for your continued support of The Heritage Foundation as we strive to preserve liberty and restore the founding vision of America. We are committed to bringing change to Washington, returning to the Constitution, and securing the freedom of future generations. We will not stop and we will not back down.

Without you, our work would not be possible. Thank you.

Happy Independence Day to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Jim DeMint
President
