Each year on the 17th day of September we celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States in Philadelphia in 1787. In 2004, Congress officially made Sept. 17 "Constitution Day" and required all schools receiving federal funding to teach students about the Constitution. Every year since 2005, President Bush has declared Sept. 17 as "Constitution Day." And yet there is no mention of Constitution Day on my calendar this month, even though there are days marked for the Mexican Constitution on Feb. 5 and the beginning of Kwanzaa on Dec. 26.
Perhaps the omission of a day to celebrate our Constitution is symbolic of a general disregard for that document every official – whether state or federal, executive, legislative or judicial – is sworn to uphold. As a young lieutenant in 1969, I was sworn to support and defend that Constitution, which I knew could cost me life or limb. Today, that Constitution is routinely ignored by public officials who seem more interested in party politics, personal income and keeping their job than the "supreme law of the land."
For instance, one of the candidates for president, Sen. O, recently sponsored the "Global Poverty Act," ostensibly to raise the level of income in poor countries around the world, but at a cost of $845 billion to U.S. taxpayers. (maybe he should have used that to help the "American" people yelling for a home at McCain's house last night! Why do we not take care of our own first?)
There is absolutely no basis in the Constitution to spend our tax monies for such a purpose.
