Unity, Not Division

Keep Politics Out of National Celebrations!

A national holiday should remain non-political, focusing on shared values rather than a president's agenda. The event risks becoming a partisan rally, diverting attention from the independence celebration itself and the non-political spirit of the holiday.

Non-Partisan Event

Independence Day should be a broadly unifying celebration, free from partisan political speeches that could alienate portions of the population.

Focus on History

The core of the holiday is about American history and principles, not the current political landscape or a presidential campaign message.

Avoid Politicization

Using a national celebration for a lengthy political address risks politicizing an event that should transcend political divides and unite all citizens.
