Restore the Constitution—letter to the editor to the Morton Time-News and the Morton Courier


“Thursday, September 8th, at 6:30PM, Don Vance, who was born and raised in Morton and graduated with a M.S. in political science from Illinois State, will speak to the Morton 9/12 group at Freedom Hall. The theme is “Restoring the Constitution thru Knowing the Constitution.”

All are invited to come and hear his presentation and participate in the discussion that is generated. Families are welcomed and encouraged to attend, particularly those with students in high school.

Learn how over the last 200 plus years the nation has drifted away from some of the basic tenets of the Constitution through misinterpreting and ignoring the sound principles of the document.

Mark your calendars: Thursday, September 8th, at 6:30PM, at Freedom Hall. Everyone is welcome.”

The above letter to the editor was sent to both Morton newspapers. As is my practice, I am posting the letter the same day that it should appear in the paper. We’ll soon know if the newspapers will publish the letter. If not, it is here.

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” (Last sentence of the Declaration of Independence)
