The 4th of July: Independence Forever

The 4th of July- Independence Forever:

The Fourth of July is a great opportunity to renew our dedication to the principles of liberty and equality enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, a document that serves as the birth certificate of America.

The ringing phrases of the Declaration of Independence speak to all who strive for liberty and seek to vindicate the principles of self-government. When asked to prepare a statement on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams delivered two words that still convey our great hope every Fourth of July: 'Independence Forever.' The Declaration of Independence publicly announced to the world the unanimous decision of the American colonies to declare themselves free and independent states, absolved from any allegiance to Great Britain. But its greater meaning is a statement of the conditions of legitimate political authority and the proper ends of government."
