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

This is a House Resolution (H. Res. 678) introduced in the 119th Congress by Rep. Van Drew. It expresses support for designating September as “Founding Fathers’ Month.” The resolution frames September as a meaningful time to recognize the Founding Fathers—listing several prominent figures and highlighting their roles in securing independence, shaping American governance, and drafting foundational documents. It notes that September also marks the signing of the Constitution (September 17, 1787) and links this to the start of the new school year as a timely opportunity to educate Americans about founding principles. It acknowledges a decline in knowledge of the Founding Fathers and civic engagement and proposes a broad set of non-binding actions to promote education and reflection. As a non-binding resolution, its primary effect is to express support and urge action rather than create new law or mandate funding. It calls on educational institutions, public organizations, and government entities to participate in awareness and education efforts, and it asks the Department of Education to support programs and resources to deepen civic education. The intended outcome is to foster greater understanding of American liberty and the responsibilities of citizenship, with an emphasis on preserving the freedoms the Founding Fathers established.
