Constituting America and Let Freedom Ring have launched a joint initiative aimed at getting more Americans to read the Constitution out loud and gain a better understanding of our nation's founding documents, principles, and ideals. We often hear politicians reference the Constitution, but how many of them do you think have actually read the entire text? These two organizations will be hosting local events all across the country on September 18, where ordinary citizens can participate in a reading of the Constitution in their area. It's something every American should do and it takes less than one hour to read the whole thing!
You can sign up to host a Constitution party on WeReadTheConstitution.com or simply locate an event near you. Remember that it doesn't need to be a lavish extravaganza; host a barbeque, meet at your local recreation center, or even invite friends to recite in your living room.
