Proclamation 8032 of June 26, 2006


Independence Day, 2006

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

On July 4, 1776, our Nation's Founders declared ``That
these United Colonies are, and of Right, ought to be
free and Independent States.'' This declaration marked
a great milestone in the history of human freedom. On
the 230th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration
of Independence, we pay tribute to the courage and
dedication of those who created this country, and we
celebrate the values of liberty and equality that make
our country strong.

The patriots of the Revolutionary War acted on the
beliefs that ``all men are created equal'' and ``that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights.'' By advancing these ideals,
generations of Americans have unleashed the hope of
freedom for people in every corner of the world.

As we celebrate our independence, Americans can take
pride in our history and look to the future with
confidence. We offer our gratitude to all the American
patriots, past and present, who have sought to advance
freedom and lay the foundations of peace. Because of
their sacrifice, this country remains a beacon of hope
for all who dream of liberty and a shining example to
the world of what a free people can achieve. May God
continue to bless the United States of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United
States, do hereby proclaim July 4, 2006, as
Independence Day. I call upon the people of the United
States to observe with all due ceremony our
Independence Day as a time to honor our Founders and
their legacy of freedom and remember with thankfulness
the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-sixth day of June, in the year of our Lord two
thousand six, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

2. Oh, good

Chimpy just invented the Fourth of July! Wow, what a ground-breaking statesman the young simian has blossomed into. What'll he think of next? The smart money says he'll invent something called those "Internets." If he doesn't do it, who will? Get that monkey a keyboard!

3. His next act will be to author the Simian Equal Rights Amendment.

To the US Constitution.
