The American Civil Liberties Union has created this petition to ask Congress to honor the U.S. Constitution with a new federal holiday on September 17, Constitution Day.
Sign this petition for a holiday dedicated to the U.S. Constitution and elevate it to the same status as the Declaration of Independence. People should have a day off from school and work to celebrate the U.S. Constitution. It's historical significance also warrants our government's public recognition.
This ACLU petition for a federal observance on Constitution Day is long overdue and goes beyond Congress' 2004 mandate that schools teach about the Constitution on September 17 and President Obama's proclamation designating September 17-23 as Constitution week.
