After Labor Day how many of us citizens will be celebrating September 17th, Constitution Day? That’s the day the Constitution’s final signature was achieved establishing our democratic republic. Why not change Constitution Day observance to the first Tuesday in November? The September 17th date is symbolic anyway. Doing so would make Constitution Day coincide with the biennial federal elections and we could celebrate both events as a national holiday.
Just think, what better way to reflect on the importance of our Constitution than to exercise the right to vote on the same holiday, free of work pressure. This simple action would encourage greater voter turnout and an increased awareness of the elements of the Constitution.
The synergism of these two important events occurring on the same day would serve as a reminder of the fundamental values that our nation was founded upon, and the rights, freedoms, and liberty we as citizens enjoy.
Members of Congress can set into motion the opportunity for citizens of this great country to honor both its Constitutional foundations and the ability to exercise those freedoms by combining these two events into one and being able to vote without constraints on the same day.
It is a simple step for Congress to create this combined event honoring democracy! If you concur, let your Congressional representatives know!
THE FUTURE BEGINS TODAY!
