I received this article from the North Carolina GOP and they are my heroes. These people are real Conservatives, real Republicans. These are the people I want to model myself after and why I am backing “Paul Stark for Congress” This article represents Paul's belief in how our government should be run and how he will deal with his terms in Congress. We need to get back to the basic ideals of our forefathers and become proud Americans again.
Lets stand up and be heard Conservatives and Republicans we want new representation in Congress and “PAUL STARK FOR CONGRESS” is the man for us.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Dear Republican Friends,
On July 4, 1776, 56 delegates of the Second Continental Congress gathered in a stuffy room in Philadelphia to make one of the most important decisions the world may ever know. 56 brave souls chose that day to forgo the comforts afforded them by staying loyal to a despotic, controlling regime and instead embark on a journey to liberty that would threaten all their lives but change the course of history forever. We celebrate Independence Day for the 232nd time this year still commemorating that faithful day and the bravery of the Founding Fathers whose stand for liberty yet echoes throughout our country.
The actual document of the Declaration of Independence was penned mostly by Thomas Jefferson. According to Jefferson, the purpose of the Declaration was “not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of . . . but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take.” As conservatives, we are wholly committed to defending the principles of liberty and resistance against government tyranny that the Founders laid out for us on the first Independence Day. We defend our freedom not with new principles or new arguments, but unapologetically with the same values and beliefs that have provided strength to our country and our greatest leaders throughout our history. A faith in God and country, in the inherent dignity of men and women, in the fact that democracy is our last, best hope for freedom; these are the values that have shaped this nation and made it great. We celebrate it today and we celebrate those who have fought and died to defend our freedom and way of life, including the brave men and women who place themselves in harm’s way everyday to see that we continue to enjoy our freedoms.
Years later, after a young America had prevailed in its fight for independence, a different group of delegates convened to create a Constitution for the new nation. The story is often told that upon the adoption of the Constitution, Ben Franklin was approached by a group of citizens who asked what kind of government the delegates had created. Franklin answered, “A republic, if you can keep it.” What we must recognize now more than ever is that the duty of keeping our republic falls on us as citizens and descendents of the Founding Generation. We must work to protect and preserve the principle of freedom and legacy of liberty that we have received as precious gifts. We are the ones who must pledge ourselves anew to the cause of defending the values that have knit our union together and kept us strong while growing from a fledgling nation to the greatest defender of democracy the world has ever known. We must be the ones to do this because there is no one else. We must understand that still today we have a republic, if we can keep it. Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice on behalf of our country, our state, and the Republican Party. God bless you and God bless America!
Happy Independence Day!
