We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

We are at a time of testing. We are no longer the nation dreamed of by our forefathers. Our representatives tear each other apart on the floor of the Senate and from their bully pulpits, they find fault with everyone, except themselves.

Those with ill intent have wormed their way into the highest seats of power, and they squander the authority they’ve been entrusted with, through the vote of the people.

For their part, the citizens are not blameless, as they put celebrity above principle and apathy takes the place of sober contemplation, in regards to the rights given by God and crafted into our Constitution by our nation’s founders 240 years ago.

With all that being said, we are still the most free nation in the world. Because of the dream of patriots who have gone before us, we have hope.

Senator Ted Cruz is one of those who still keeps the flame of freedom alive, as our founders intended. His short Independence Day message perfectly sums up that patriotic spirit, and for that, we thank you, Senator.
