WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
Constitution Week 2015
The Constitution of the United States, the guardian of our liberties, is a
product of reflection and choice, embodying the principles of limited
government in a Republic dedicated to rule by law, not by men; and
September 17, 2015 marks the two hundred and twenty-eighth anniversary
of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the
Constitutional Convention; and
it is fitting and proper to accord official recognition to this memorable
anniversary, and to the patriotic exercises that will commemorate the
occasion; and
Public Law 915 , guarantees the issue of a proclamation each year by the
President of the United States of America designating September 17th
through September 23rd as Constitution Week.
This Constitution Week, we, the City of Milton, urge all citizens to study the Constitution and
to express gratitude for the privilege of American citizenship in our Republic, functioning
under the superb body of laws-the Constitution of the United States of America.
Now, therefore, I, Joe Lockwood as Mayor of the City of Milton, proclaim the week of
September 17, 2015 through September 23 , 2015 as Constitution Week in the City of Milton
and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals the Framers of the Constitution had in 1787.
Presented to the Martha Stewart Bulloch Society of the Children of the American
Revolution.
Given under our hand and seal of the City of Milton, Georgia on this 9th day of
September, 2015.
