Senator Jim Tomes Independence Day Message:
Last week Indiana State Senator Jim Tomes issued the following Independence Day remarks as part of his weekly Senate Update Email. In case you missed it, are not on the Senator’s Email list, or would simply like to read it again, here’s a reprint:
Happy Independence Day!
Another birthday and how wonderful it is. This month 243 years ago, some very brave and remarkably intelligent men took a stand and set in motion the birth of a nation like no other nation on the globe. The 13 colonies, with an estimated population of 2.5 million people, decided for themselves to cut ties with Great Britain to run their own lives free of tyranny.
Though America is gaining some years, it’s still young in comparison to other nations. God has bestowed many blessings on this nation over the centuries, and as citizens we have much to be thankful for. We also have many responsibilities and duties to care for this country. There was a price paid by those patriotic people many years ago to secure the liberty, freedom and way of life that is enjoyed today. We have an obligation to remember that payment, and on this July 4th let’s keep that in mind.
Not only did our Founding Fathers take a stand for independence, they also built an incredibly strong foundation in the earliest days of the United States. We have the strongest and most well thought out Constitution in the world, and I believe Thomas Jefferson pointed out how much work it took to establish it.
In a letter to Justice William Johnson on June 12, 1823 from his home in Monticello, Virginia, Jefferson stated, “On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”
Be safe, and have a great Independence Day celebrating all the freedoms this great country offers.
