just in time for the 4th of July…
I was listening to AM Radio while stuck in traffic (had to turn off Satellite radio to get traffic report) and caught a story about the Redesigned Naturalization Test that people immigrating into our country must pass. The latest changes go into effect October 1st, 2008.
The hosts were quizzing callers and sadly, from the sounds of it, most people who already live here couldn’t pass the test. Here are a couple of the questions…how do you fare? The answers to the following 4 are below, but DON’T CHEAT.
- When was the Constitution written?
- Who was President during World War I?
- How many justices are on the Supreme Court?
- How many amendments does the Constitution have?
You can find all the questions and answers here:

Keeping in mind WOOD 1300 probably has a fairly conservative audience, they also replayed a self proclaimed “rant” by Rick Roberts titled “I want my country back.” They pull it off the shelf on special occasions to spread the sentiment. It was pretty good - the guy was definitely passionate - you can hear it or read the transcript here:
