Wishing You a Safe Independence Day

June 3, 2010

I also encourage you to take some time to cherish the freedom that our forefathers fought against tyranny to obtain and the generations that have followed have stood proudly to preserve.

Protecting our country and defending our safety is as critical today as it was 234 years ago.   Just as relevant today as back then, our forefathers held the simple truth that preserving our freedom demands an adherence to the rule of law. 

President Roosevelt said, “No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man’s permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right; not asked as a favor.”

Freedom without safety is easily compromised and eventually lost.  As we celebrate our freedom, we are reminded that our social contract to follow the laws of our nation is what makes it possible.

As our forefathers taught us when they signed the Declaration of Independence, all challenges can be met and all perils can be overcome.  God bless you and your families, and may God bless Arizona and the United States of America.

Happy Fourth of July!
