Liberty Day Institute Florida: February 2015

Constituton Project, Inc.

The Mission: Constitution Project, Inc., a Florida non-profit, was founded by Joseph Cofield, for the purpose of putting a copy of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence in the hands of every 5th grade student in Florida. That is a huge task, as there are over 200,000 5th graders in 67 different Florida counties, but progress is being made thanks to Joseph's extraordinary efforts!

The How: Joseph began his mission in April 2014 and since then, many amazing things have happened. To gather support for his mission, in April of 2015 he began his 27 - 67 Journey Across Florida - visiting each of the 67 Florida counties, riding his bike 21 miles and running 6 in each county (one mile for each of the 27 Amendments). That is over 1,800 difficult miles meeting with state and county officials, school personnel and service organizations.

Pamela, Marie, Mimi, Romie, and Art:

I attempted to forward you a blog yesterday for Presidents' Day but to my surprise I still have a lot to learn. I will master this thing and will commit to doing a blog each week with Saturday being my targeted day for posting.

I have been sending each of you a ton of emails for the events going on Saturday February 21, 2015,
Sunday February 22, 2015, and Monday February 23, 2015. Please do let me know if you have that information.

Thanks for the support each of you are giving to make our Liberty Day Institute Florida program highly successful.

Together with the help of God will make this happen.

Joseph
