You may first hear a short message and then be transferred to the Congressional switchboard operator.

Declaration of Independence

Independence was actually voted on and declared on July 2, 1776 by The Second Continental Congress. The document itself, written by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams was dated July 4, 1776.  It was not until August 2, 1776 that it was signed by the representatives of the 13 colonies. Now, take a few minutes to read the Declaration of Independence.

US Constitution.

The Constitution of the United States was signed, September 17th, 1787, and this date is celebrated as Constitution Day. With this document, we should always remember that we are a nation of laws and not of men. We live by and obey the laws that "we the people" enact through our representatives and not by the dictates of men. If any man or woman should violate or circumvent these laws, an impartial court should rule. If any citizen does not agree with the laws, the constitution provides the means to change them, peacefully. Listen to  or Read the constitution in its entirety, portions, or download the audio files and take them with you. Lets all become better voters and more responsible citizens. Plus it is interesting reading and listening.
