Dreier Honors Constitution
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman David Dreier (R-San Dimas) voted today to honor the Constitution of the United States, and to recognize Constitution Day. Dreier supported H. Res. 734, which unanimously passed the House of Representatives.
“Our founding fathers wrote what has come to be the most enduring Constitution in the world,” Dreier said. “James Madison, the father of our Constitution, understood that government derives its power from the will of the people, to protect and preserve our liberties. His vision of divided government, held accountable by checks and balances, has ensured American liberty for generations.”
H.Res.734, details the Constitution’s profound impact on the development of democracy not only here in the United States but in all corners of the globe. This resolution also honors September 17th as Constitution Day. September 17, 2009 marked the two hundred and twenty-second anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison were among the 39 signatories at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
“As we celebrate the importance of our Constitution in establishing a structure of representative government that has prospered and endured by preserving our liberties, it is essential that we also take this opportunity to remember the many sacrifices of our fellow citizens throughout our history to protect and defend this country. I join with my colleagues in recognition and celebration of this vital document, and the men and women who have fought to protect and uphold it.”
