They know what they stand for, and they are not afraid to say it. As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, that raises a basic question: What does it mean to be an American?

I’ve been proud to represent Alabama in the United States Senate over the past five and a half years. Unfortunately, something I’ve noticed during my time in D.C. is that the swamp seems much more interested in preserving their own power than doing what’s right for the American people.
