September could very well be the best month to be an Orem resident. We enjoy near perfect weather, plenty of great high school and college football, tons of fun city events, and now for the first time, a month-long celebration of the U.S. Constitution.
At our last City Council meeting, Mayor Young, with the full and unanimous support of the council, proclaimed September as “Constitution Month” in the City of Orem. This is a time when we come together to celebrate the fundamental document that has been the bedrock of our nation for over two centuries.
Our Constitution is not just a piece of paper; it's a testament to the enduring values that have made our nation strong and resilient. I have deep love and admiration for this remarkable document, which has successfully guided our great nation through countless challenges and triumphs.
You may wonder, "What does the U.S. Constitution have to do with our city?" The answer is quite simple: it is the very foundation upon which our system of local governance is built. It outlines the principles of democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of individual rights - all of which are at the heart of our city's mission and purpose. Our Constitution empowers us to shape our local communities, make decisions that matter to us, and ensure that the voices of our residents are heard.
In celebration of Constitution Month, I invite you to explore the incredible resources available on whyiloveamerica.com. This website offers a treasure trove of ideas and materials to help you and your family learn more about our Constitution and its significance.
As we celebrate Constitution Month, let us remember the timeless principles that have united us for over 200 years. It is our duty and privilege to uphold its ideals and to ensure that its promise of a more perfect union endures for generations to come.
Thank you for being active, engaged citizens, and for contributing to the strength and vitality of our wonderful city.
-Councilman Jeff Lambson
