Bradley Byrne Official fraudAlabama 1st District U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne:

 I hope you and your family have a fun and safe 4th of July! I hope you will be sure to take time this weekend to reflect on what exactly it means to be an American. I recorded this short video message to share my thoughts on this important occasion.

Martha Roby OfficialAlabama 2nd District U.S. Rep. Martha Roby:

On this ‪#‎FourthofJuly‬, 240 years since our county’s founding, may we remember the words of those founders who “mutually pledge[d]to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor” to start a new way of life based on self-determination.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government…”

Happy Independence Day!
