This country was founded on a few simple principles. Freedom, Democracy, and the idea that all of us are created equal. Those principles have been tested over and over again. From the Revolutionary War to the Civil War and the end of slavery. Through two World Wars, the fight against fascism, the Civil Rights Movement, and beyond. Every generation has worked to make our country better live up to its founding ideals. Our history has never been simple. But what has always made our country exceptional is our willingness to keep pushing forward. We’ve built the strongest democracy the world has ever known. We’ve invented, discovered, and explored in ways no other nation has. We learned to fly. We put people on the Moon. We continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible because Americans are willing to take on hard problems together. A lot of us were reminded of that earlier this year as we watched Artemis II fly around the Moon and travel farther than any human has ever before. Twenty years ago this Independence Day, I launched on a mission to the International Space Station. As I looked back at Earth, I thought about how unlikely that journey really was. I’m the son of two police officers. I went to public schools. I had the opportunity to become a Navy pilot, an astronaut, and now a United States Senator. In no other place is a path like mine possible. Every generation before us has worked to preserve and strengthen the freedoms we enjoy and leave this country stronger than they found it. It’s our turn to do the same. As America celebrates 250 years, we should all be asking ourselves a simple question: What do we want the next 250 years to look like?Do we continue building on the values that have carried us this far: Freedom, democracy, and equality? Do we keep investing in the next generation of innovators, explorers, workers, and public servants? Do we keep choosing unity over division and solve problems together?I think the choice is simple. Those before us sacrificed to build this country and protect our democracy. Now it’s our responsibility to strengthen it for our kids and grandkids. If we stay committed to those ideals and do the work to preserve them, then I have no doubt the next 250 years can be even better than the last. Today we celebrate our freedoms. Tomorrow we get to work preserving them. Happy Fourth of July. ”Arizona Senate Democrats posted:“As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday this Fourth of July, we honor the ideals that have shaped our nation: freedom, democracy, opportunity, and the diversity that makes us stronger.
