"Good morning, this is Congressman Rick Allen. Robin and I would like to wish you and your loved ones a joyful and safe Fourth of July.

"As we celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States, let’s take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and the faith that continues to guide us.

"While this holiday is a time to come together as neighbors, friends, and fellow Americans, it's also a time to pay tribute to our brave Founding Fathers and our sacred rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

"Happy Independence Day, Georgia-12! May God continue to bless you, your families, and the United States of America."
