Constitution Day—Read the Constitution at a public/private event


I received this yesterday and checked it out this morning. I decided to post it today because of the time limits since time is necessary to plan this.

From: http://www.cwfa.org/articles/19406/CWA/freedom/index.htm

“On September 17, citizens of the United States will celebrate Constitution Day, the anniversary of the day in 1787 that 39 of our founding fathers signed our U.S. Constitution….or will they? With both citizens and our nation’s leaders losing their grasp and memory of that historic document, Let Freedom Ring and Constituting America have launched http://www.WeReadtheConstitution.com, asking Americans to take the time to read our Constitution, and to gather together to read the Constitution out loud, either at home or in a public event, on the following Saturday, September 18. Colin Hanna, President of Let Freedom Ring, tells us more about this event, which we hope will become an annual event. Listen
