Show your Patriotism with We The People HD 13

by Tim Stiffler-Dean Mon, 04 Jul 2011 3:17 pm EDT

In the United States, the Fourth of July, today, is a day of celebration for its citizens all around the world. It serves as a reminded of that first day of independence was brought to the people in 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 men from the original 13 colonies in North America, and gives some a sense of patriotic pride as they remember the men who fought to set them free from oppression. In modern days, most people will shoot off fireworks and cook hamburgers on the grill with friends and family, but today you can celebrate your country in a whole new way. We The People HD, an app developed by Greg Stoll (who also brings us FlightPredictor and other great apps) gives us a direct look at the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, and the 27 Constitutional Amendments that make up the Supreme Federal Law of the land.

You can get We The People HD in the TouchPad App Catalog for $0.99 (or you can get the non-HD version for the same price on your smartphone) and give yourself a refreshing lesson on the documents that set the groundwork for what the United States would one day become. We probably won't advise you to read this at the family gathering, though. The length and context, while inspiring, might not be the most exciting for the young ones to sit through (or anyone, for that matter) when there are fireworks to light up.

Have a safe and happy Fourth, everyone. How will you be spending your day?

UPDATE: Greg has decided (in our comments below) that all Veterans and Active Military can get a Promo Code to use this app for free! Just send him an email at greg.stoll@gmail.com, and he'll send the app your way.

It's not FREE?!

Sorry - I spent a fair bit of time designing the interface, adding the search feature, etc. If you prefer you can always go to http://usconstitution.net in the browser, it's just not as convenient :-)

Haha I posted that just for the irony. Great job on the app, I just downloaded(PAID!) it =)

Happy 4th of July!!!

Heh, my bad...guess I need to have the ol' irony detector tuned up :-) Happy 4th!

Free as in speech, not free as in beer.

Also, there is a sweet flag background in Interface Lift. I love this country and I love being able to celebrate it just a little on my Touchpad!

Cool. I just checked it out for myself. It does look really nice.

Sure - good idea! Veterans/servicemen/servicewomen, send me an email at greg.stoll@gmail.com and I'll hook you up with a promo code :-)

Just bought it because sometimes there is no WiFi when I need to explain to some right-wing nutjobs (and, yes, left-wing nutjobs) what the constitution says.

awesome offer !!! Appreciate you and your biz Greg for offering the promo code . . . I hope it comes back 10 fold for you ~

Gregstoll that is a great offer. I'd be willing to chip in a few bucks toward supporting your offer. send me a PayPal...

Thanks for the offer, but it's really not necessary. Just pay it forward somehow :-)
