Dreier honors Constitution

Rep. David Dreier on Tuesday voted to honor the Constitution of the United States and to recognize Constitution Day.

Dreier supported House Resolution 734, which unanimously passed the House of Representatives.

"Our founding fathers wrote what has come to be the most enduring Constitution in the world," Dreier said. "James Madison, the father of our Constitution, understood that government derives its power from the will of the people, to protect and preserve our liberties. His vision of divided government, held accountable by checks and balances, has ensured American liberty for generations."

H.Res.734, details the Constitution's profound impact on the development of democracy not only here in the United States but in all corners of the globe.

"As we celebrate the importance of our Constitution in establishing a structure of representative government that has prospered and endured by preserving our liberties, it is essential that we also take this opportunity to remember the many sacrifices of our fellow citizens throughout our history to protect and defend this country," Dreier said.

Dreier is a Republican who represents the 26th District, which includes Montclair, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, San Antonio Heights, Claremont, La Verne and San Dimas.
