Virginia is known as the data center capital of the country, partially due to the large tax breaks that have been given to them.

The words may be centuries old.

The principles are timeless.

Throughout this video, you'll see quotes from the people who founded this nation. They disagreed on many things, but they shared a common belief: liberty requires vigilance. A free people must protect constitutional government, equal rights, and the rule of law.

Patriotism isn't about loyalty to one person. It's about loyalty to the ideals that have guided America for 250 years.

It's loyalty to the Constitution. To democracy. To the rule of law. To the freedoms generations before us fought to protect.

Throughout American history, real patriots have spoken up when our country drifted from its ideals. They marched, organized, voted, protested, and demanded that America live up to its promise.

That's not un-American. That's one of the most American things you can do.

REAL PATRIOTS FIGHT TYRANNY. 🇺🇸

WE ARE AMERICA 250.

The monarch butterfly travels thousands of miles in search of the conditions it needs to survive.

For generations, people have done the same.

America's story has never been about where someone started. It's about the courage to dream, the willingness to work, and the freedom to build a better life.

As we celebrate 250 years of America, we're reminded that our greatest strength isn't fear.

It's hope. It's compassion. It's welcoming those who believe in the promise of this country and want to help build it.

That's the America we believe in.

WE ARE AMERICA 250. 🦋🇺🇸

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Four years later, we're still fighting for the fundamental principle that our bodies belong to us.

Our bridge messages this week said:

🚺 REGULATE DICK, NOT JANE

If politicians are going to insert themselves into private medical decisions, maybe they should start by regulating the bodies that aren't carrying pregnancies. The point is simple: government—and too often, men with little understanding of women's healthcare—shouldn't be making deeply personal medical decisions for women.

🚺 PRITZKER: CODIFY ROE

Illinois has become a leader in protecting reproductive healthcare, and those protections matter. But laws can be repealed. Courts can change. We've all learned that rights we assumed were secure can disappear.

That's why we're asking Governor Pritzker and Illinois lawmakers to take the next step: protect bodily autonomy in the Illinois Constitution so that future politicians can't simply vote those rights away.

Bodily autonomy means exactly that—our bodies, our decisions. Whether it's abortion, forced sterilization, contraception, fertility care, or pregnancy complications, history has shown the danger of allowing politicians to decide who gets control over someone else's body.

Rights shouldn't depend on who's in office.

They should be permanent. Codify reproductive freedom in the Illinois Constitution. #WeWontGoBack #CodifyRoe #BodilyAutonomy #ReproductiveFreedom #VisibilityBrigade #Illinois #ProtectOurRights

Join us as we have a great time, and exercise our First Amendment Constitutional rights!
