Dear John,
On September 17, 1787, a handful of brave patriots and some of the brightest minds of their time gathered to draft what became the most remarkable document in our nation’s history: The U.S. Constitution.
The Constitution is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government. Although more than two centuries have passed since its ratification, the Constitution continues to be both a guide and a protector of U.S. citizens, our elected officials and our representative form of government.
And of course, it still remains a vital document that safeguards the God-given rights of all Americans — including our right to live out our faith which is the first liberty in our First Amendment.
Today, on Constitution Day, it’s only fitting that we commemorate that iconic document, the xxxxxx of our freedoms.
But, if we are unwilling to protect this document, then this document is unable to protect us. America’s Founders expected us as citizens to be the first guardians of our Constitution and our own liberty.
At this point in our history, attacks on our constitutional rights and our religious freedom continue to happen at an alarming rate. The only way to continue standing up against those who incessantly try to violate, trample and undermine the Constitution is to KNOW what our nation’s founding document says — and to put that knowledge into practice.
To help you, First Liberty’s Director of Legal Communications, Lathan Watts, breaks down how we can best stand up for our Constitution and the freedoms found therein.
As you celebrate Constitution Day and the liberties you enjoy as an American, make this day an opportunity to learn more and to read about the document itself. Visit First Liberty’s website and get a pocket Constitution today!
Gratefully,
Kelly
