Free e-books on Freedom for Memorial Day Weekend

As a Valley Girl, I love a weekend sale at the mall as much as anybody, but Memorial Day weekend is also about freedom, and the high price so many have paid to secure it for succeeding generations.

Our freedom is secured not only by our men and women in uniform, but also by an educated citizenry that understands the importance of protecting our rights. How much do you really know about the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, and everything in the Constitution that seemed so unimportant back when you had to take a class in government to graduate from high school?

Starting at midnight tonight and continuing until 11:59 p.m. on Monday night, you can get the e-book editions of "The 37th Amendment: A Novel" and "How the First Amendment Came to Protect Topless Dancing" free on Amazon.com. Learn the true history of the Bill of Rights and read a murder mystery set in the year 2056, forty years after the Constitution is amended to remove the guarantee of "due process of law."

Free all day Sunday and Monday in honor of Memorial Day.
