Senate Dems Offer 'Personal Constitution'

WASHINGTON (AP) - Download your ``exclusive personal Constitution.'' And while you're at it, how about a few bucks for Senate Democrats.

That is the thrust of an appeal from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, issued Thursday under the name of Sen. Robert C. Byrd.

``I carry a pocket-sized edition of the Constitution with me every where I go, whether I'm back home in West Virginia or speaking out on the Senate floor,'' it says. ``Now you can, too. You can download and print the DSCC's exclusive personal Constitution.''

When printed, it runs eight pages. Each bears the campaign organization's logo as well as its name and Web site in a type size larger than historic text's.

Byrd's appeal accuses Republicans of threatening to ``undermine the system of checks and balances described in the Constitution and the fundamental rights we hold dear'' by changing the rules governing confirmation of judges.
