“This 4th of July we celebrate freedom and liberty—our most cherished of ideals. Yet today, some Americans do not possess the same freedoms.
Now more than ever we must redouble our efforts to equally fulfill those unalienable rights promised by our nation’s founders: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Today on the 4th of July I’m reminded of these words in the preamble of our constitution.
We have much to celebrate as Americans but we must never lose sight that we still have work to do to be a more perfect union.

On this Independence Day I am doing what I love most — knocking doors and talking to voters.
Democracy is not a spectator sport, it is a contact sport and we must continue to engage folks to create a more perfect union.

Today’s Fourth of July come at a crossroads in our history.
Never before have we seen the rescinding of personal freedoms and rights on such a mass scale and against the populist will. (1/3)
@RepRaulGrijalva
We’re reminded today that our nation depends on those who are willing to stand up and speak out for justice. Our founders, imperfect as they were, fought for a cause they believed in and we must do the same. (2/3)
@RepRaulGrijalva
While we may not feel like celebrating the independence of our nation, I hope that you are inspired with a renewed resolve to fight for the country we want to see for our future and future generations. Happy Independence Day. (3/3)
