Happy September

Fall is my favorite season. Football season starts. Baseball playoffs start. Weather is cooler, sweaters, sweatshirts and jeans season. I LOVE IT.

September is also the month where you can learn more about YOUR U.S. Constitution.

That's right, it belongs to you. And if you're not going to take care of it, we're going to take it away from you. Oh, no wait. That was a puppy I had once.....

Anyway, the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library -- in joint participation with other area institutions -- is partcipating in My Daily Constitution. There will be various events around the city including one I think is VERY cool, a public reading of the Constitution at the Indiana State House on Sunday, Sept. 17th. Bad news is, there is a Home Colts game that day, so get downtown early. Have brunch.

After that, there are several other discussions happening around town on different Constitutional issues: Free speech, citizenship, freedom of religion, eminent domain, war powers, you name it.

it sounds very interesting. I hope you can make some of the events.

Oh yeah, and stop by any library branch to get a free (FREE!) copy of your U.S. Constitution donated by Lexis-Nexis.
