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.
