Ring the Bells: It’s Constitution Week!

On September 17th at 4:00 PM from sea to shining sea, bells will ring across America in celebration of the United States Constitution!

It was on this date in 1787, at the Pennsylvania State House, now better known as Independence Hall, the framing of the U.S. Constitution culminated at about 4:00 after 100 days of intense conversation and deliberation.

The U.S. Constitution is the oldest and the shortest major written governance document in the world. This document, with a few amendments added here and there, is essentially the same document that established the basis of our governing laws at the founding of our country.

So…

Push your “send all” button and help spread the word.

Fly your flag from the 17th through the 23rd!

It’s Constitution Week. Let’s celebrate in a big way,

By sending this e-mail all across the USA!

 

So, to observe the hour and the day

That our nation declared its say,

You and others will really “rock”

If you ring a bell at 4 o’clock!
