The 2007 Colorado Constitution Day Celebration was the predecessor to Liberty Day's Celebration America program. The Celebration was broken into three parts: two seminars and one set of three breakout sessions, in which students rotated from one classroom to another, each with a different interactive speaker. More than 50 high school students from across the state of Colorado attended the Celebration.
Presentations included a speech by Secretary of State Mike Coffman, a debate between former State Senate President John Andrews and State Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon, comedian Jimmie Viles (who played Benjamin Franklin), motivational speaker Mark McIntosh (co-host of 9News' Colorado and Company), and breakout sessions led by State Senator Nancy Spence and others.
The 2007 Colorado Constitution Day Celebration was by all accounts a success. Here are some testimonials to how great the experience was for everyone involved!
- "I really enjoyed this event and this was a very original idea. I left feeling a great appreciation for our country, even more so than before."
January Rowe, Event Participant
- "Attending the event gave me my first real taste of American democracy. The speakers were people I had seen before either on television or working at the Capitol. The fact that they were there and speaking on such a personal level made the government and Constitution very real.
Matt Baatz, Event Participant
- "Constitution Day was a great way to learn about our government and meet new people. Sen. Nancy Spence really inspired me to get involved in government and make a goal to be a senator or in [another] legislative position."
Bryndee Peterson, Event Participant
- "As a parent I am always looking for ways to increase my daughter's knowledge of our country, its history and form of government. This conference was a great way to expose her to many important issues without boring her!"
