- From 1776 to the digital age, the fight for unalienable rights continues.
- The blessings of liberty are not guaranteed for the next generation.
- New technologies can serve freedom or control it. The choice is still ours.
250th Independence Day – Defending Our Freedom
Today, on the 250th anniversary of our nation’s birth, I reflect on the sacrifice our Founders made. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence knew they were risking everything for the cause of liberty.
Signer Benjamin Rush later recalled the atmosphere in the chamber when they stepped up to sign the Declaration of Independence:
“Do you recollect the pensive and awful silence which pervaded the house when we were called up, one after another, to the table of the President of Congress to subscribe what was believed by many at that time to be our own death warrants?”
The Signers of the Declaration of Independence understood that, if the colonies were to lose the war, the King of England would convict them of high treason, the penalty for which was a grisly death.
Yet the Signers risked everything to found a new nation, based on this principle:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Our Founders understood that our rights come from God, not from government. Governments exist to secure those rights—not to digitize, score, or control their citizens.
New Threats to Old Freedoms
So many throughout American history have fought and died to protect these “unalienable Rights.” Yet with each passing generation, these rights come under assault in new ways.
In our generation, we must press back against the spread of Chinese Communist Party–style digital totalitarianism around the world, including here at home. We must resist the creation of systems that use digital IDs, programmable digital money, and ubiquitous artificial intelligence to surveil, harvest, centralize—and ultimately weaponize—our private data.
The infrastructure for a global, CCP-style surveillance state is being built now. In the wrong hands, these tools could form the backbone of a “Digital Gulag,” in which every transaction, movement, and opinion can be monitored, scored, and controlled.
We oppose the surveillance systems of authoritarian regimes—not the people they rule. Every person, in every nation, is endowed by God with the same “unalienable Rights.”
Will the American Experiment End?
Will the freedom for which our forefathers and foremothers fought and died continue for another 250 years—or even another 50 years? Will the “American Experiment” in ordered liberty endure even for another generation?
The answer depends on what we do now.
The good news is that this future is not yet written. If we act with courage and clarity, we can ensure that our children and grandchildren inherit not a Digital Gulag, but the blessings of liberty.
