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.

Six more counties added to my journey across Florida...

August 16, 2015

Do you have any idea what city is voted the most patriotic city in the United States of America?

If you said any place in except here in Florida, you are out of the game and should be filled with shame!

I will let you in on the secret because I was not aware until this week and what a great blessing to find this out during my journey across Florida.

If you are the first person to contact me with the correct answer, you will get one of the fancy 27 - 67 Back Packs (your choice of color) free of cost just because you know the correct answer of the question above.



I will give you a clue that will help you make up your mind. The city is located in one of the six locations from my journey across Florida this week:


1.      Sumter County     -  Bushnell

2.      Citrus County       -  Inverness

3.      Marion County     -  Ocala

4.      Levy County         -  Bronson

5.      Gilchrist County   -  Trenton

6.      Alachua County   - Gainesville

I was so impressed that I left the school district and rode across the entire city and everywhere you looked this city has pride of being an American everywhere. Every month there is something special happening around town. The veterans are honored in the schools, stores, and government centers all over town.

This city had no problem embracing my message of getting a copy of the Constitution in the hands of all our fifth grade students across Florida.

I will post some pictures of my journey in this area as soon as I get a winner from the question that I asked when I started this message today.
