| Garry Brewer, Grand Mesa Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, accepts the Bill of Rights Day Proclamation presented by the Board of Mesa County Commissioners. |
These amendments limit the federal government's power and guarantee each citizen — life, liberty, justice, property, and the pursuit of happiness.
In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed December 15 to be Bill of Rights Day in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Bill of Rights ratification.
On this 229th anniversary of the Bill of Rights' ratification, all people in the United States can live and prosper because of the freedoms and privileges insured by this document.
Today, the Board of Mesa County Commissioners proclaimed December 15, 2020, as Bill of Rights Day in Mesa County and encourages all residents to reflect on the Bill of Rights ratification's importance.
