Grassley Independence Day Statement

Statement

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa issued the following statement marking Independence Day 2017.

"The Declaration of Independence is perhaps the greatest expression of political freedom ever devised by humankind. It plainly states our liberties come from God, not from the government. What government giveth, it can taketh away. Ratified thirteen years later, the Constitution secures our freedoms, nailing down the principle that the people run the government, not the other way around. Celebrate on this day the freedoms you have, which are greater than any others in the history of the world. I wish every Iowan a happy Independence Day on this 241st anniversary of our nation's founding."
