REMEMBERING THE TRUE MEANING OF THE FOURTH

246 years ago our founders declared their independence and a new form of self government, a democracy, was born. I was born on the 4th of July, so the day has always been important to me. Today there are challenges to democracy in Europe, the South China Sea, and even closer to home. My 4th wish is for us to unite (left and right) today to celebrate and renew our oath to democracy. Happy 4th!
