Came across this petition, looks legit. Whereas the U.S. Declaration of Independence states “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed;” Whereas, the U.S. Constitution grants the federal government specific, limited and delegated powers; Whereas, the House and Senate spend an average of about 1,000 hours per year in session; Whereas, the U.S. Constitution is 4,400 words in length and would take less than two hours to read out loud; Whereas, every member of Congress swears an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution; Therefore, be resolved that we the undersigned urge the United States House and Senate to read aloud, in each chamber, the U.S. Constitution in its entirety at the start of the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, and that Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution be read aloud on the first legislative day of each month that the Congress is in session. http://www.readtheusconstitution.org/petition/ I couldn't find anything false about this site so I thought I'd pass it along. |
