Constitution Day?

So I just heard on the radio that tomorrow is Constitution Day. Yeah, like the US Constitution. And in honor of said day, President Bush encourages all Americans to stop what they're doing tomorrow at 1pm and recite the Pre-amble to the Constitution.

For real?!

Do people actually know the pre-amble to the Constitution?! All I know is "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union...."

So I'm doing a survey.....how many of you reading this blog can actually recite the pre-amble to the Constitution?

I'm waiting to be impressed.....and I hope to hear you doing your patriotic duty at 1pm tomorrow!!
