Welcome to The Senate Site

By Margaret Dayton
Utah State Senator, District 15

It's constitution day. I thought this little paragraph was worth reading one more time...

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.... Done... the seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven."

. . . and this was worth watching, just one more time. Enjoy!

I just can't resist asking...how many people know what this means, anymore? Justice is far removed from what we're doing in the Middle East, Guantanamo or even new Orleans. General Welfare is far removed from School Vouchers. Liberty is what Bush & Co have denied every single one of us by means of the supposed "Patriot" Act. And Posterity is a dream snatched away by ARMs.

What relation do we have to our Constitution, anymore?
