Constitution Day
« on: September 17, 2010, 01:34:39 PM »

September 17 was an historic day in our country, and it's barely mentioned.


Today is Constitution Day — a day specifically designated by an Act of Congress when Americans are supposed to honor the remarkable document that created our system of government. The date was chosen because the Constitution was approved at the original Constitutional Convention on Sept. 17, 1787.

What a great bunch of brilliant patriots, those men that gave us the Constitution.
What a sorry bunch of sleazebags, that would take it from us.

Freedom Of Speech.....Once we lose it, every other freedom will follow.

Well said NW.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Yes. Well said.  The sleazebags refer to it as TP day judging by their actions.   >:(
