Happy Constitution Day!!!

[Lerincho]

Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the ratification of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is observed on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787.[2]

The law establishing the holiday was created in 2004 with the passage of an amendment by Senator Robert Byrd to the Omnibus spending bill of 2004.[3] Before this law was enacted, the holiday was known as "Citizenship Day". In addition to renaming the holiday "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day," the act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution on that day.[4] In May 2005, the United States Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds of any kind.[5] This holiday is not observed by granting time off work for federal employees.

When Constitution Day falls on a weekend or on another holiday, schools and other institutions observe the holiday on an adjacent weekday.[5] This was the case in 2005, when Constitution Day was generally observed on Friday, September 16[3] and 2006 when the holiday was observed on Monday, September 18.

Universities and colleges nationwide have created "U.S. Constitution and Citizenship Weeks" in order to meet the requirements of the law. For example, the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) has created a celebration week that includes "Constitution Trivia Contests", distribution of free copies of the U.S. Constitution, a campus & community fair (in which volunteer and community groups can share information with students), a web page with facts and links related to the Constitution and history of the United States. MSOE has also distributed thousands of free "Presidential quote" t-shirts to all students on campus.[6]

Yeah, I really love the unobserved Federal holidays. Shame that I work at a bank and we care little for those! A day off the computer at work and on it for DDO would have been just what the founding father's would recommend.

the very presence of this post depresses me as to what has actually become of humanity. the world is in serious trouble that so many are so fixated on an American patriotic reference.

To bad this holiday observes ideals and principles that have been raped and pillaged to the point that nobody even recognizes why or what it was written for.

I'd say there is a distinct difference between celebrating something that defined and created a country and celebrating and illegal substance.

Ler I would let it go. I am thinking he is just trying to create a reason to have your thread closed.
