HomeMy WebLinkAboutPrsntatn - Consitution WeekWhereas, September 17, 2016, marks the two hundred twenty-ninth
anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America
by the Constitutional Convention; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper to officially recognize this magnificent
document, its memorable anniversary, and the patriotic celebrations which will
commemorate the occasion; and
Whereas, Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation
each year by the President of the United States of America designating
September 17 to 23 as Constitution Week.
Now, Therefore, I, Robert A. Spiegel, Mayor of the City of
Palm Desert, Along With the Entire City Council, Do Hereby Proclaim the week
of September 17 to 23, as
Constitution Week
in the City of Palm Desert and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals the
Framers of the Constitution had in 1787 by vigilantly protecting the freedoms
guaranteed to us through this guardian of our liberties, remembering that lost
rights may never be regained. We urge all citizens to also study the
Constitution and reflect on the privilege of being an American, with all the
rights and responsibilities which that privilege involves.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and have caused the Official Seal of the CV of Palm
Desert, California, to be affixed this 8` day of
September, 2016.
