Dear Friends,

This July 4th marks the 233rd anniversary of our nation’s birth - the day when bold and dedicated patriots founded a nation based on individual freedom. As Lafayette put it over two centuries ago, "Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country." It most certainly does. For more than two centuries, America has been a beacon of hope and opportunity precisely because ours is the nation conceived in liberty. As we celebrate our great nation’s birth, let us remember and rejoice those heroes who risked, and in some cases lost, their lives, fortunes and sacred honor so that we could pursue our God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Have a wonderful Fourth of July!
Pat Toomey
