JULY 4TH: REFLECTIONS ON OUR AMERICAN IDENTITY

From Kona TEA Party

As we are celebrating the 4^th of July this weekend, we recommend you take some time to read some substantive articles about who we are as Americans.

You can click on the links to read any of the following:

The Heritage Foundation article, 'Why Does American Welcome Immigrants?" is an excellent article on the fundamental nature of America as a nation founded on the hard word of immigrants.

Thomas Sowell’s article “July 4th” is tremendous review of 7/4/1776 marking America as a “radically different kind of government from the governments that prevailed around the world”.

Paul Ryan’s June 2^nd speech to the Alexander Hamilton Society, “American Exceptionalism”, lays out all the fundamental principles that make America different and great.

Pass this on to your friends. Fuel the grassroots fire that is re-awakening an understanding of who we are as Americans. We need to ponder and reflect on our American Identity this 4^th of July, and urge our friends to do the same.
