Memorial Service for the Constitution
November 11, 2009, Noon
St. Augustine

On September 28th, 2009, the Constitution died in St. Augustine, Florida after a ten plus year battle with an extremely viral strain of fascism. The Constitution was born September 17th, 1787 in Philadelphia with a multitude of congenital problems, including slavery. She endured 27 major surgeries during her brief life, ten immediately after birth. Although she remained severely handicapped by imperialism and greed, there had been great hopes for what she might have accomplished in her life. She is survived by her children Freedom and Justice, who are, unfortunately, suffering from the same virus that killed their mother.

A memorial will be held in St. Augustine on November 11th, at noon, followed by a short funeral procession down St. George St. through La Plaza de la Constitucion and along the bayfront. Everyone who knew the Constitution is invited to participate. Drummers and other musicians, especially, are invited to participate because she loved music and singing. The family asks that you not send flowers but a donation can be made in her name to Veterans For Peace, 216 South Meramec Ave, St. Louis MO 63105.

For those wishing to attend and who are unfamiliar with St. Augustine, be VERY careful about parking. It is strictly enforced. Contact us about where to park without paying the ridiculous fees.

New City of St. Augustine Anthem
(sung to the tune of the National Anthem)

Oh say can you see
By the TV's blue light
When democracy failed
And merchants were scheming
What we want 's to be free
But they don't care 'bout democracy
From our sofas we watched
As the Constitution lay screaming
No one seemed to care
Next they'll want fees for the air
If you 're not rich and not white
Then your rights are stripped bare
Oh say will that blood spattered dollar still reign -
In the land of corporate greed
And the home of the slave
