Happy 4th of July, District 1 and all Americans!
Today, we reflect on what Independence Day truly means. It’s not just about fireworks—it’s about our founding promise. The Fourth of July marks the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776, declaring that “all men are created equal” and endowed with unalienable rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When any government fails to protect these freedoms, it’s our right—and duty—to alter or abolish it and establish one that does gilderlehrman.org+4gilderlehrman.org+4en.wikipedia.org+4.
From humble beginnings under oppressive rule, our Founders crafted a nation built on the ideals of a more perfect union, justice, domestic tranquility, common defense, general welfare, and liberty for all posterity. These words—the Preamble to the Constitution—remind us that government exists to serve you, not the other way around kids.laws.com.
Dear Fellow Americans,
On this Independence Day, I’m reminded that our nation was born from courage and conviction—not blind loyalty. The Founders rejected tyranny, choosing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness over subjugation. They understood that even the best government could become destructive if it lost its moral compass. When that happens, we—the people—must act gilderlehrman.org+1theverge.com+1.
I’m Robert Beers, and my campaign is about returning power to the people—not to elites or special interests. We need government that prioritizes our safety, our freedoms, and our future. Today, let’s remember that real patriotism means vigilance—ensuring our leaders uphold those founding promises, not dismantle them.
Let’s honor July 4th by recommitting ourselves to a more perfect union, with you at its heart. Visit www.robertbeers.com and www.robertbeersforcongress.com to learn more about how we can preserve our rights and renew our democracy together.
From the spark of 1776 to the promise of tomorrow—happy Independence Day. United, we rise.
