USA celebrates the flag and “the republic for which it stands, one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.”

This day and every day, our American flag serves as a symbol of freedom and our American ideals, here and across the globe.

The only way to secure that freedom is through valid and transparent elections—with real voters, real votes, real counts and real proof—so we can all trust that the true will of the people is represented by those who govern our great nation.
