MURFREESBORO, TN - The Rutherford County Tea Party, Rutherford County 912 Project, and Rutherford County Campaign for Liberty are collaborating for a Constitution Day Celebration to be held September 18th at 430pm on the square in Murfreesboro.  This is part of a nationwide Constitution Day event.

"Across the United States ordinary citizens will be hosting or attending local gatherings at public places and backyard barbecues where they will read aloud the entire text of the United States Constitution. It is a profoundly moving exercise," states the website promoting the national event, www.wereadtheconstitution.com.

"This is designed to be a non-partisan event which focuses on one of our most important founding documents, the Constitution of the United States of America.  Our individual liberties given to us by our creator are spelled out in this document, therefore it is vitally important that people read and understand the Constitution," stated Chris Beach, an organizer of the event.

The event will begin at 4:30pm with box meals available at Maple Street Grill for $5, including beverage (call ahead to order @ 890-0122). Pocket Constitutions will be available free of charge for attendees while supplies last. The reading of our Constitution will begin at approximately 5pm with special guest readers to include local politicians and community members.  Following the reading, constitutional experts will be made available to attendees for questions and answers.  The event should conclude at 6:30pm.
