Dear Friend,
You and I live in the greatest country in human history—America.
And, in 2026, America will turn 250 years old.
That’s a quarter-millennium of liberty and
self-government-something worth celebrating. But recent events
have led me to wonder: will young people mark this milestone with
gratitude? Indifference? Or something worse?
We should celebrate our great country by remembering the people
who built it. Our nation’s story began in the colonial period,
and the habits and practices established in the 1600s and early
1700s paved the way for the Revolution in 1776.
The symbol of the American Revolution is the Betsy Ross Flag, and
I want you to have one. It’s made in the U.S.A.—and reminds us of
the enduring principles of liberty upon which our nation was
founded.
The truth is that too few citizens know the story of America’s
founding. When you display this flag, you invite others to
remember and learn about the founding principles of our nation.
Today, you can claim your flag and support educational outreach
efforts that reach and teach millions of Americans the truth
about our history and our great heritage of liberty.
You can help Hillsdale College, the only college in America that
teaches anyone who wants to learn about the principles that made
America so great and so free.

In the words of the Declaration of Independence, “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.”
For most of our history, schoolchildren grew up learning and
revering these ideas. You probably did too.
Sadly, this is no longer always true. Too many of our schools
instead teach that America should be denigrated, not celebrated,
and that we should “evolve beyond” our founding principles.
When statues fell across American cities, it wasn’t just stone
and bronze that hit the ground—it was a sign of the growing
attempt to rewrite history and strip away the informed patriotism
needed to preserve liberty.
This display of anti-Americanism probably upset you. It
definitely upset me. And it has to stop.
That’s where you come in.
Together, you and other concerned citizens can confront the
destructive ideology that leads to rioting and defaced statues
with the truth about American history.
If younger generations do not learn the truth, what will they
know—or celebrate—when America turns 250?
Your generous support today will...
•
Expand the circulation of Imprimis, Hillsdale College’s digest of
liberty, to reach millions of Americans (you can also receive a
free subscription to Imprimis…for life—click to learn more ( [link removed] )).

documents to schools and individuals.
•
Increase enrollment in Hillsdale’s free online courses such as

thousands of students nationwide.
You should also be aware that…
To maintain its independence, Hillsdale College does all of this
work while refusing EVERY PENNY of government funding, even
indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants or
loans. NOT. ONE. PENNY—to stand free and independent.
