Bush was at Monticello for a 4th of July celebration and proudly quoted Jefferson.
“May it be to the world, what I believe it will be — to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all — the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.”
