3rd CD GOP Commemorates Constitution Day
Today, we honor the foundation of our great Republic, the United States Constitution. Signed on September 17th, 1787, this remarkable document established a government rooted in liberty, justice, and the rule of law. It is the guiding framework that has safeguarded our freedoms for over two centuries and continues to serve as the bedrock of our democracy.
As Americans, we are called not only to celebrate the wisdom of our Founders but also to uphold and defend the Constitution in our own time. Its words remind us that government derives its power from the consent of the governed, and that our rights are not granted by government but endowed by our Creator.
On this Constitution Day, let us recommit ourselves to preserving this sacred trust for future generations, protecting liberty, ensuring justice, and keeping America the "shining city on a hill" envisioned by those who came before us.
