Lawmakers URGE Biden to Make Change to 4th of July

Biden to RENAME 4th of JULY?

A bipartisan group of House members is preparing to file a resolution urging President Biden to establish July as “American Patriotism Month.”

 

The resolution, which hails the United States as the “greatest country on Earth” and seeks to reaffirm House support for the July special designation, is slated to be filed on Friday by Texas Republican Rep. Roger Williams.

 

 

The resolution emphasizes the importance of “patriotism” and how it has historically united Americans, citing numerous significant events and anniversaries in American history, notably July 4, 1776, when the United States proclaimed independence from British authority.

 

The resolution, which Fox News Digital reviewed, states that “patriotism has bonded citizens of the United States of America since the foundation of our country” and that “people of the United States hold a deep love for this country and have demonstrated this through patriotic acts throughout history.”

“The divide in our country is clearer than ever, and there is no better time to rally behind American pride,” Williams told Fox News Digital. “Throughout history, we have created holidays for many groups but fail to celebrate the patriots who made our freedoms possible adequately.”

 

 

He went on to say, “Any man or woman, regardless of background, maybe a patriot, and American Patriotism Month serves as a reminder of the principles that make our country great. There is no reason for Biden to turn out a chance to celebrate American pride.”

Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola of Alaska, Republican Reps. Kat Cammack of Florida, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Don Bacon of Nebraska, Barry Moore of Alabama, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, and Nathaniel Moran of Texas are co-sponsors.

The resolution also mentions the events of June 6, 1944, when “over 73,000 Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy to protect democracy and liberty,” as well as words by previous presidents who advocated for unity across the United States.

 

 

The text emphasizes remarks from former Presidents John F. Kennedy, who insisted that Americans “ask what you can do for your country,” and Ronald Reagan, who said that “no arsenal or weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.”

 

Recognizing the “leadership of United States Presidents and the American people,” the resolution recalls how “America was triumphant in the cold war against the Soviet Union and emerged as the beacon of hope for the free world.”

 

Williams’ resolution, which has gotten support from the Eagle Forum, also recognizes the United States’ resounding solidarity in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City. At the time, the resolution states, “American patriots rushed to help one another, defend our country, and defend the values that we Americans deeply believe in.”
