S.P. 454 
JOINT RESOLUTION DECLARING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF 
JAMES MADISON TO BE OBSERVED AS LIBERTY DAY 
WHEREAS, our rights and liberties, expounded in the cherished documents that our founding 
fathers created, which are the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution 
with its Bill of Rights; and 
WHEREAS, the patriot James Madison, 4th President of the United States, was a contributing 
author of the Virginia Plan, the model and the basis for the United States Constitution, that 
emerged from the Constitutional Convention of 1787, establishing a new form of government 
and replacing the Articles of Confederation; and 
WHEREAS, James Madison kept written records of the debates during the Constitutional 
Convention of 1787, those debates and the compromises created from those debates later 
becoming an integral part of producing the United States Constitution; and 
WHEREAS, James Madison wrote many of the newspaper articles that outlined the reason why 
the states should endorse a new constitution; and 
WHEREAS, these articles, cowritten with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, became known as 
the Federalist Papers, and still endure as some of the best arguments for our form of government; 
and 
Tuesday, March 18, 2003 
WHEREAS, James Madison served in the United States House of Representatives from 1789 
until 1797, during which time he introduced into Congress the Bill of Rights, which was ratified 
by the states in 1791; and 
WHEREAS, James Madison served as Secretary of State from 1801 until 1809, and as President 
ofthe United States from 1809 until 1817; and 
WHEREAS, it is fitting that Sunday, March 16, 2003, the 252nd anniversary of the birth of 
James Madison, be observed as Liberty Day throughout the State, a celebration of the 
Declaration oflndependence and the United Stat~s Constitution, where our unalienable rights 
and liberties are proclaimed; now, therefore, be it 
RESOLVED: That, We, the Members of the One Hundred and Twenty-first Legislature, now 
assembled in the First Regular Session, pause in remembrance of our freedom, our rights and our 
liberties as citizens of the United States of America; and be it further 
RESOLVED: That a suitable copy of this resolution, duly authenticated by the Secretary of 
State, be placed in a public common area for viewing by the citizens of the State. 
Joint Resolution in Memoriam: 
WHEREAS, the Legislature has learned with deep regret of the death of: 
(4-2) Randall C. Keep, of Easton, Vice-President and Secretary of MMG Insurance Company in 
Presque Isle. A company employee since 1974, "Randy" served in many capacities including 
being the Adjusting and Marketing Director of Federal Programs, Human Resource Director and 
Claims Manager. His civic contributions were significant and included the Maine Insurance 
Guaranty Association, the Presque Isle Rotary Club, the Maine Association of Insurance 
Companies and the Presque Isle Area Chamber of Commerce, all of which he served in 
leadership capacities. He was a gubernatorial appointee for a study group to assess the needs of 
the Office of the State Fire Marshal and was also appointed for membership in the Maine 
Climate Change Task Force and the Maine Fire Protection Services Commission. Randy 
received a Commendation Award from the Maine State Police, received an honorary 
membership in the Presque Isle Fire Department and the Paul Harris Fellowship Award, a 
Rotarian national recognition. This respected member of the community was well-known as a 
caring and dedicated citizen who will be sadly missed by his family, friends and community;
