Happy Independence Day to Everyone! In our celebrations, let us remember this is why we continue to be thankful for our freedom, our democracy and our the right to make our voices heard through our vote. While other nations are fighting for the liberties we take for granted, let us not stand by idle and apathetic - - let us get engaged in our community, in our state and across our great nation.
Most all of, let us remember the brave men and women of the armed forces who protect our great freedoms! - Your Forsyth County Democratic Party
