Cameron Hamilton: This President's Day...

This Presidents' Day, I reflect on the values of our nation's Founding Fathers who put their lives on the line to preserve the future of this great nation. My family's home in Orange, VA is just a few minutes down the road from Montpelier - James Madison's home, and final resting place. They called Madison the "Father of the Constitution" because he played such a pivotal role in authoring our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Virginia's 7th district is rich with the history of great men like Madison who loved our country and wanted the Liberty they fought to protect to endure forever. Unfortunately, Democrats and Republicans alike have lost sight of the core purpose of our country and the values of our Founding Fathers. The United States of America was founded in denial of tyranny. It was founded to allow every American the opportunity to pursue prosperity, through an environment that preserved their individual liberties. Today, Congress allows unelected bureaucrats in DC to run ever-expanding government programs at the expense of your tax dollars, that don't preserve your liberties or enable you to thrive. Or they just send your tax dollars overseas. The country we live in today would have been unthinkable to our Founding Fathers and our earliest presidents. -Cameron Hamilton
