Expressing support for the month of September as "Founding Fathers' Month".

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating the month of September as "Founding Fathers' Month" . It aims to honor the extraordinary group of leaders who secured independence and shaped the foundational principles of American democracy, recognizing their noble contributions through service, intellectual debates, and the drafting of key founding documents. The resolution highlights September's historical significance, marking the signing of the Constitution, and notes the timely opportunity at the start of the school year to educate students. It also addresses a concerning decline in knowledge about the Founding Fathers and foundational principles, as well as a decline in patriotism and civic engagement. To counter this, the resolution encourages all Americans, educational institutions, public organizations, and government entities to actively promote awareness, education, and appreciation of the Founding Fathers. Furthermore, it calls upon the Department of Education to support programs and resources that ensure the survival of the Republic by deepening the nation's understanding of its founding principles and the vital role of civic education.
