August is Make a Will Month

Dear Friend in Freedom,

You and the John Locke Foundation have provided the state with positive steps to reclaim our economy and our lives, during a very difficult time.

But now is also the time to claim our legacy: To be sure the future is bright for our families and generations to come.

August is National Make-a-Will Month. People from across the country are considering how they'll safeguard their children's and grandchildren's futures, so their hard-earned wealth will benefit the people and ideas they love, and not a government that disregards their values.

This month, we urge those who don't already have a will, to put one in place. We also invite you to consider joining the John Locke Foundation's Locke Liberty Legacy Society by including freedom's future in your plans. Through a simple bequest or other planned giving vehicle, your contribution helps ensure freedom for all who come behind us-and all who are counting on us to protect and expand freedom in North Carolina.

For more information, contact Maggie Horzempa at mhorzempa@johnlocke.org or (919) 632-1310.

Sincerely,

Amy O. Cooke
CEO, John Locke Foundation

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 . The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

That line began a revolution to create freedom in a world where it didn't exist. Remarkably the spirit of '76 continues today, but Americans' commitment to freedom is being tested.

Consider a Spirit of '76 investment in freedom $17.76, $177.60 or even $1,776.00

In 1964 then California Governor Ronald Reagan warned us against taking our freedom for granted:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same."

These words are so important to us at the John Locke Foundation that we have them painted on our wall to serve as daily inspiration for the work we do.

Just days ahead of our 244^th Independence Day, North Carolina, which boasts a history of being "first in freedom," finds its freedom being tested with both a constitutional crisis and an economic catastrophe due to Governor Roy Cooper's response to COVID-19. Meanwhile, our rule of law is being replaced with mob rule.

In the words of Thomas Paine, "these are the times that try men's souls." At the Locke Foundation we aren't summer soldiers who shrink from service. We engage and defend our principles. The principles you've invested in. That's why we published our first policy response to COVID-19 within days of the lockdown and provided Carolina Rebound, a game plan to win the economic recovery, to elected official and the public.

Staff member Jon Sanders explains why we are so committed to freedom in his compelling piece, "Freedom is the foundation for ensuring black lives matter." Freedom may be messy and imperfect, but it's our "last best hope" to ensuring that each individual life matters.

For all who have invested in us, we thank you for standing with us. On this Independence Day, I am asking that you continue to stand with us on freedom's front line. There are two ways you can do that. First, be a part of our messaging campaign #ProudAmerican on our Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram. Tell us why you are proud to be an American and proud to be a North Carolinian.

Second, in the Spirit of '76, consider an investment of $17.76, $177.60 or even $1,776.00 into the work we do for freedom. Donate today so freedom continues to have a voice in North Carolina.
