What better place to celebrate July 4th than @TJMonticello with 74 newly naturalized citizens. This year we celebrated the 249th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Their guy wrote it—Thomas Jefferson.

What is the role of government? On this day in 1936, FDR gave his famous Rendezvous with Destiny speech and urged "a spirit of charity” over “a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference." Watch the clip from THE ROOSEVELTS.
