Happy 237th birthday! Thank you Thomas Jefferson for these words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Thank you John Adams for persuading Congress, over strong opposition from those who wanted to remain loyal to the King of England, to vote the create this new and independent country. Thank you to all of our Founders for risking your lives to create this democracy. Let us today resolve, as Abraham Lincoln said, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
