Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the ratification of the United States Constitution, and also recognizes all who have become citizens due to either coming of age or naturalization. It is observed on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787.

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America... Done... the seventeenth day of September, in the year of our LORD one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven.” —George Washington and the delegates
Today, 17 September, marks the 221st anniversary of the Constitution’s signing by our nation’s Founders.
"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary." --Ayn Rand
And let us not forget the Bill of Rights

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I am an American!
One of the few titles that I don't mind to be labeled with. I consider it an honor and a privilege.
May we always have the courage to stand by those principles, and reason to feel proud about it.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

There would always be another time to be pessimist.
