  • Summary

  • In 1976, the occasion of our bicentennial, the great political scientist Harry Jaffa wrote that in 1776 we were nothing, promising to become everything; but having become everything, we were then promising to become nothing.

    In two years, we’ll be celebrating our 250th anniversary. But, the principles of natural law, liberty and equality are all under grave assault. In 2021, among the first acts of the Biden administration, was the dismantling of the 1776 Commission, established to teach an accurate and invigorating history of our country.

    Can you imagine our nation having a 250th celebration true to our Founding principles?—Under a continuation of this administration, in 2026?

    History, Ronald Reagan said, is a ribbon, continually unfurling. We have unfurled that ribbon far and wide. Today, it’s unraveling quickly. As we celebrate this 4th—we look forward to our 250th with a renewed commitment to this great experiment in liberty, trusting for a quarter-millennial celebration worthy of our nation’s Founders.
