The FReeper Canteen Presents....

~ Constitution Day, September 17, 1787 ~

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Canteen Mission Statement

Showing support and boosting the morale of
our military and our allies military
and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

The Federal Convention convened in the State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation. Because the delegations from only two states were at first present, the members adjourned from day to day until a quorum of seven states was obtained on May 25. Through discussion and debate it became clear by mid-June that, rather than amend the existing Articles, the Convention would draft an entirely new frame of government.

All through the summer, in closed sessions, the delegates debated, and redrafted the articles of the new Constitution. Among the chief points at issue were how much power to allow the central government, how many representatives in Congress to allow each state, and how these representatives should be elected--directly by the people or by the state legislators. The work of many minds, the Constitution stands as a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise.

Beautiful thread, Kathy! Last night I was watching 15 men and women exercise their right to free debate/speech. I pray we never lose our rights under our unique set of laws!

CHARLIE JUST HAD A

[henkster]

Thank you, Kathy. No problem catching up. I really do appreciate the Canteen threads, even if I just kind of lurk around.

The kids in my “We The People” unit are good kids, very smart, but I’m afraid that at age 17 or 18, most of them have been pretty well indoctrinated. They all believe homosexual “marriage” is and should be a protected right.

It makes me sad. I wonder how long they will let me keep doing this.

[henkster]

PS: If you wonder why I take the time to get up early and go “coach” these kids, and teach the high school Sunday School class, and coached many years in youth baseball, it’s easy.

I was a prosecutor for 18 years, and now have a public defender contract that includes the defense of juveniles. I want to know that there are still good kids in the world. And I want to make a difference for them. It breaks my heart to see young people throw their lives away.

[luvie]

Awww...I’ll bet he is just a little good-smelling fluff-ball now! :)

[SandRat]

Yep!

So SOFT too.
