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. I 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 City of Palm
Desert, California, to be affixed this 1 ltn day of
