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.

Territory is but the body of a nation. The people who inhabit its hills and valleys are its soul, its spirit, its life.
----- James A. Garfield
 
I have found this to be true as I have now completed eight of the 67 counties of Florida. It is truly the people of this great state which make life such a joy to love and work.
 
I believe that the 200,000 plus 5th grade students of Florida will have those Constitution booklets in their hands come September 2015 because as I talking with the good people of Florida they understand the importance of our youth learning the Constitution and the working of our government as well as understanding the rich history of our "Republic" so in that regard I seek your support in helping me complete this journey!
