Dear Friend,
As we reflect on our nation’s birth, we must always remember that our freedom and liberty are owed to a remarkable group of men and women who had the courage to stand up against the tyranny and injustice of King George III and the Parliament of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
More than 235 years ago, fifty-six men—representing thirteen states—signed a document that denounced the “repeated injuries and usurpations” of our forefathers’ rights and liberties. This bold and courageous act was not self-serving, but instead a selfless pursuit to establish a new way of life wherein all men, created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This Fourth of July, in the spirit of our Founders’ commitment to an honorable and transparent government, I invite you to join me in reflecting on their great sacrifices. We must always remember that the political and economic freedom that they secured for us have made us the greatest, wealthiest, and most influential country on earth.
I wish you and your family a very happy Independence Day!
Sincerely,
Rep, Scott Garrett
