We are celebrating the 235th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence that was approved in 1776. It was a long and bloody battle, and our forefathers paid a heavy price for our independence and for the freedoms we enjoy — and often take for granted — today.

However, the fight for freedom is never-ending. It must be fought by every generation, and we are no exception. Indeed, we face today a grave and growing threat to these freedoms in many different areas: religion, politics, economics, speech — and deadly terrorism. Who is leading these attacks, who is fighting to protect us — and how can I help?

To help us understand that better, Valley Faith in Action host Dean Welty speaks with Delegate Bob Marshall and Rita Dunaway, consulting attorney with the Rutherford Institute.
