Happy Constitution Day!

Today is the 226th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. Your kids, my kids, all students should return home to tell their parents of something that they've learned about that profound document written my remarkable men...

Written during the summer of 1787 in Philadelphia, the Constitution of the United States of America is the fundamental rule of law for the US federal system of governance. This landmark document of the Western world, is the oldest written national constitution in use, defining both the principal organs of government, as well as their jurisdictions, and the basic rights of citizens.

Following ratification through the states, the first ten amendments—the Bill of Rights—came into effect on December 15, 1791. These important amendments further limited the powers of the federal government to protect the rights of all citizens.

The current leviathan in Washington, all branches, all parties, finds itself in desperate need of a refresher course in its words, its meaning, and its reflection of the honorable men who constructed such a revered manuscript.
