Montana's Congressman

Sept 17-23 we celebrate one of the single most important events in America's history, the signing of our Constitution.

For more than 200 years, this document has been the tool that has shaped our federal government. As a member of Congress, it's a great privilege to be able to stand up every two years and swear to uphold its ideals.

Constitution Week is a great opportunity to sit down with your kids and tell them about this important document and the rights we have as Americans. These are lessons that should never be forgotten and it's important we continue to pass them from generation to generation.

However, it's also critical these lessons extend beyond merely one week per year. America's unique dedication to freedom was built through a strong, written guide and that guide is as important as ever today.

The framers of our Constitution were able to create a document that has withstood the test of time, and their shadow continues to be a constant presence in the work I'm doing in Washington, DC on behalf of Montana.

During Constitution Week, let us all pay homage and remember those who first sacrificed in order to give us what we have today.
