Glad to see all you deer hunters made it back alive.

After Channel 1 news we will be playing a game involving the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution is the document that gives you your rights and freedoms. It is your responsibility to know what your rights are, and this game should help you to understand your rights a little bit more.

This will be a difficult game for many of you. Don't give up, work at it and you will get it.
