Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., calls on citizens to preserve America culture, spirit. (C-SPAN) Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., is sounding the alarm over polling revealing that a record-low number of Americans were "very proud" of their country last year. "In Gallup’s 25-year patriotism survey, just 17 percent, or less than 1 in 5 American adults, reported that they were ‘very proud’ of being an American," Hageman said in a floor speech on Tuesday. "Our excitement for America has been dimmed by accusations of an unacceptable morality, our self-image tarnished by a novel self-flagellation," she added. Hageman’s speech also argued that the country has a distinct cultural identity that merits preservation and urged readers to rekindle their appreciation of it on America’s 250th Independence Day.
