Daren Gardner’s Constitution Ride Across America rolled into Washington, D.C. today. This was Daren’s last stop on his motorcycle ride that began in August. Daren travelled through 48 states. He stopped at each state capitol along the way presenting ceremonial copies of the Constitution. Those elected officials in each state then signed a resolution to uphold the Constitution. That document was delivered today to our nation’s capitol.

Meanwhile on the other side of the National Mall, John Stewart and Stephen Colbert held their “Rally to Restore Sanity/Fear” event. I think it’s a shame that coverage of that event has been so heavy, while the amazing story of an average citizen doing something on his own has gained little to no exposure.

Daren’s ride is complete…but the real journey is just beginning! I feel honored to have taken part in his ride, a small part when he came through Lincoln, Nebraska.

We hope that Daren will get to enjoy some quality time with his family now! (And some minor bike repairs are tended to!) I’m proud to call him a friend. He is an inspiration to all, and a real American! We hope to have Daren on the radio show very soon. We’ll keep you updated.

Thanks again Daren!

"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world." -Daniel Webster

I have been given the wonderful opportunity to assist Daren Gardner on his Constitution Ride Across America. Mr. Gardner is a small businessman from Virginia who will begin riding his motorcycle across the continental United States stopping at each state capitol to present a resolution to be signed by an elected representative  from each state to uphold the Constitution. This historic resolution will be presented later at the end of the ride in D.C. on October 30th.

I am coordinating the event here in Nebraska. The stop in Lincoln will be on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 around 4:00 PM. I have two officials that have tentatively agreed to participate. I am looking for some more help though – if anyone could post flyers around Lincoln, that would be great. We also need to find a portable sound system to be used at the event. Also a banner stand is needed. We also would like to have someone to present an invocation, and someone willing to perform one or two patriotic songs. Please contact me if you would like to participate or help promote this amazing event.

Important note – this is not a political event. This is purely American event, a positive display of our Constitution. All Americans are invited to attend regardless of politics. Political signs and any negativity is to be left at home. American flags and Gadsden flags are welcome. Please join us for this great event!

Below is the event web site and the Resolution that Daren will be presenting.

This is the Constitution Resolution that Daren Gardner will be presenting to state legislators who participate in the ceremonial presentation of the Constitution to sign.  This will be done by 48 state legislators across this nation.
