With all the effort currently devoted to abolishing our Constitutional rights, it's high time we celebrated Constitution Dayon September 18, 2017. Actually, it should be observed on September 17, but no, it will be Monday, September 18. Whenever. It doesn't matter that much.
But it is important that we acknowledge where our freedoms come from and hope we can keep them alive. With that in mind, it might be useful to note the survey results in The scariest stat you'll see all day. Spoiler alert!
In a poll conducted for the Annenberg Public Policy Center ahead of this weekend’s celebration of the 229th anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution, only 26 percent of respondents could identify the executive, legislative and judicial branches, while 40 percent could name only one or two.
The threats we face right here at home are as challenging as those from abroad. Staying free in this environment will be a real test of faith in the Constitution and our founding fathers.
