Dear Americans,

Yesterday was Constitution Day–the 236th anniversary of the Framers signing the United States Constitution in Philadelphia. 

Many countries have Constitutions (and celebrate them on Constitution Day). And many of those Constitutions are modeled after ours because it’s the oldest (and the shortest) and it’s held up over time.

While other countries have long histories of kings and tyrants, our history started as an idea. That people should rule themselves; that we’re a country of laws, not rulers; and that we’re tied together by principles, not ancestry.

We haven’t always lived up to those ideals. But each day we strive to “form a more perfect Union” and “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
