JULY AND OUR LIBERTY RESTORED
This 4th of July weekend brings the restoration of our liberty here at Chartwell Booksellers, as a lengthy lobby construction/obstruction project is about to end. Come visit us in July and we will welcome you once again, freely, and without obstructions.
“The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution are not only American documents,” Winston Churchill noted, celebrating “The Special Relationship” between Britain and the United States of America. “They follow on the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights as the great title deeds in which the liberties of the English-Speaking peoples are founded.”
In celebrating our Independence Day, we at Chartwell Booksellers also celebrate “The Special Relationship” that we have been a small part of now for over 40 years. Congratulations to Keir Starmer, Great Britain’s new PM. We stand with him and his aspirations for democracy, in pursuit of liberty for all.
