Federalist No. 57 was first published on February 19, 1788, in The New York Packet. Let's make this February 19, the 222nd anniversary of No. 57, "Founding Legacy of Freedom Day."

Let's ask our elected officials to tell us, no later than February 19, if they agree that the advice and assurances in Federalist No. 57 remain relevant to our nation.
