Public Reading of U.S. Constitution

Boyertown Residents Take Part in Nationwide Readings of the Entire United States Constitution

When: September 18, 2010 @ 11:00 AM

Where: Nancy's Front Porch @ 120 N. Walnut St. Boyertown, PA 19512

In an effort to help revitalize the nation's civic culture, residents of Boyertown will come together at 11:00 AM at 120 N. Walnut St., Boyertown for a public reading of the U.S. Constitution.

The event will be held at the home of Nancy Kline, event organizer.

David M. Maloney (R) candidate for the PA State House 130th District, will be on hand to do a partial reading.

Although this is not a political event, it is one of hundreds to be held on the same day in cities and towns all across the United States.

Kline said, "This event, and the hundreds like it across the country, is our way of expressing our respect for the importance of the nation's founding charter and its relevance today. This is a real grassroots effort, of ordinary Americans talking to each other in person and on the Internet, to show there are people who think the nation's civic culture is important. Everyone should be familiar with the Constitution and what it says. It needs to be read, aloud!"

In addition to the local organizers, the We Read the Constitution Project is backed by national groups including Let Freedom Ring and Constituting America.
