How to celebrate the Constitution
Two-hundred and twenty-one years ago Wednesday, the Founding Fathers
signed the Constitution of the United States, starting the
ratification process for what ultimately became the fundamental law.
We celebrate this anniversary as Constitution Day, and Heritage
Foundation scholar Joe Postell has helpfully rounded up resources for
citizens to learn about the nation's highest law.
http://members.myheritage.org/site/R?i=aJmokfv4cDLkNlW6YQrU5w..
But the Constitution ought not be remembered just one day a year,
Postell argues.But the Constitution ought not be remembered just one
day a year, Postell argues.
"Our Constitution is responsible for our greatness and prosperity, and
the remarkable stability we experience in our political life.
Where other nations are vulnerable to radical movements which
undermine liberty and self-government, our Constitution has been the
anchor and ballast by which we have maintained a stable regime.
But if our Constitution is to continue to provide these blessings, we
must seize these opportunities to recur to our Constitution's
principles."
E-Verify: A program that works
E-Verify is a voluntary program that allows private employers to
ensure electronically that their new hires are eligible to work in the
United States. So far this year, it has processed more than four
million eligibility checks, and 82,000 employers take advantage of the
free service.
But Heritage's James Carafano explains that "unless Congress steps in,
on November 30, E-Verify is set to expire." Instead of allowing it to
lapse, Congress should reauthorize it.
http://members.myheritage.org/site/R?i=lL5I4N14aZKyRyfHRODq-A..
"The system has proven to be quite effective," he explains, "and SSA
and DHS continue to work to improve service, reliability, and privacy
protections."
Other Heritage work of note
* Entrepreneurship. Heritage experts Stuart Butler, Bill Beach,
and Paul Winfree collaborated with the Economic Mobility Project
to produce a valuable piece of research called "Pathways to
Economic Mobility." The report concludes that "educational
attainment, family structure and savings are the strongest
determinants of whether Americans move up or down the economic
ladder." -- David Talbot
http://members.myheritage.org/site/R?i=Dlx5zOUoDFrxq6YV7CgK-w..
* Rule of Law. Heritage legal scholar Andrew Grossman writes that
housewife Lori Drew is accused of "impersonating a young man on
MySpace to gain the trust of an emotionally troubled teen, Megan
Meier, who killed herself after the cruel joke spun out of
control." But while Drew's behavior was certainly irresponsible,
Grossman argues, "it was not criminal" A conviction under
criminal law could set bad precedents, subjecting citizens to
arbitrary laws and, in effect, making everyone a criminal.
http://members.myheritage.org/site/R?i=7xPVa6kr9kJA9SjSWA5JWg..
* Entrepreneurship. Heritage's Center for Data Analysis has
released an important new report on philanthropy in free-market
systems. The report, compiled by Guinevere Nell, James Sherk and
Paul Winfree, says that free enterprise works to the benefit of
all people because it allows for charitable giving that helps
everyone. "Believing that government redistribution of
wealth is harmful for the economy does not signify supporting a
society where 'You're on your own.' Free markets enable
entrepreneurs to become very wealthy--and they often use
this wealth to benefit others." Read more on Heritage's Insider
