What would be a good way to celebrate Constitution Day?

Although most of us traditionally celebrate the birth of the United States on Independence Day, many claim that the birth of the US is actually September 17th, and not July 4th, since this is the day that the Constitution was officially signed. It was the Declaration of Independence that was signed on July 4th.

Even though many people do not get off of work for this day and there are actually very few events held on this day, I though it would be cool to do someone special for Constitution Day. What would be a good way to celebrate this day and pay tribute to the Constitution, as well as the rights outlined therein?

I think one could celebrate some of the highlights in action. Say something freely, the more outrageous the better. Worship in an unpopular religion (if you're not Jewish you might try Pastafarian - they offer a 30 day trial with no obligation). But mainly, to be more holiday-like, celebrate the 21st amendment which repealed Prohibition by enthusiastic drinking.

As a beverage, I suggest ale and porters, favorites of the Founding Fathers. In particular, Samual Adams brewery makes a Brewer Patriot Collection, all of which are on theme for the holiday. Drinking a four pack of James Madison Dark Wheat Ale, named after the main author of the Constitution, would be especially appropriate!

I haven't seen those beers locally; but, I think I will stop at a nearby bar which has Jefferson Stout from Lazy Magnolia Brewing on tap.

It's today (Friday the 17th of September)! Don't forget! But if you're Jewish you have to finish by sundown, since Yom Kippur starts then. At least, you have to finish the drinking part. You can continue on with the freedom of religion and freedom of speech right through the night.

The cynic in me suggests sending a copy of the Constitution to members of the Tea Party. Sorry about that.

I don't think that will help. There are too many long words in it.

Mahalo, (Thanks) @kelraye78!

Perhaps it is not the Constitution itself that is the issue, but rather a better understanding of the English language. Should we blame the educational system instead?

To make a statement like this shows lack of understanding of what the very Constitution is about, not to mention lack of thought re who is actually comprising the Tea Party. (Not those pushing the Tea Party, but the quiet, thoughtful voters giving it depth. Believe me, they understand the Constitution.)
