"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, 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."
I believe that every year each US citizen should read this important document that our country is based upon. It does not take very long. If you do not have a copy of it laying around here is the National Archives site, US Constitution, and there is also a link for a printer friendly version. This document is not complete without the 27 amendments and these two items together have gotten us to the present day and the 2008 Presidential Election. Okay, I will hop off my soapbox before I do make sure that if you are a US citizen and over 18 years old that you are registered to vote.
We got to see the Constitution at the National Archives this summer. It's awe-inspiring. I got a cross-stitch kit of a facsimile of the "We the People" phrase. :o)
