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.

A Birthday Gift to Lois...

October 30, 2015

A special donation in honor of Lois Bolin for her Birthday:

Hello Lois, I want you to know that it is now official. During my presentation on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at the Rotary Club Naples Collier, I included in your honor as a Birthday gift, a donation of $422.00 toward obtaining Constitution booklets for the fifth grade students of Collier County.

You may recall on my blog site and well as my Face Book page the following statement was made before I went to the Stone Crab Festival on Sunday:

I want to wish a very special Birthday to Lois Bolin without her support this fundraiser could not be possible.
 
"As a Birthday Gift, the Steering Committee and I will match the donation earned today and place it in the funds raised today in the name of Lois for her birthday so you see it is special for you coming out today."

We earned $211.00 for our Fundraiser on Sunday, October 25, 2015. It would not have been possible without your donation of the free space for our Liberty Day Florida Organization. Our Steering Committee members came together and matched the $211.00 which made the total for Sunday $422.00.

 I now proudly announce that with the total of the $155.00 earned on Saturday combined with the now $422.00 we earned $577.00 for our Constitution Fundraiser. It is not just $577.00 but rather 577 Collier County fifth grade students will now have a Constitution booklet to use at school, at home, and with their community.

Again thanks for your kindness and I hope that all your Birthday wishes came true because you have truly touched the lives of many.

We are on the correct pathway of not only getting a Constitution booklet for the fifth grade students of Collier County but moving closer to getting a Constitution booklet for the entire fifth grade population of students (200,000) in our Sunshine State.

 
Now we will see which organization, individual, or Foundation will match that $577.00 so that we can complete the task of getting more Constitution booklets for our youth.

Looking forward to my next trip to Volusia County...

October 26, 2015

I have a great story from each of the 67 Counties. You will find that Volusia County pushed me fully into the social media arena. Just when I figured that the Face Book, Email, and Blog would be the limits of my social media; I look up and there is James T. Russell, Superintendent Volusia County Public Schools, communicating by way of Tweeter.

I learned very quickly that if I wanted to communicate with Mr. Russell I have best learn how to Tweet because he is there all the time communicating about his schools. Today I learned about a very successful car wash at Pine Ridge NHS for a fundraiser. Why is that important to me as an outsider?

The most important thing for me is that I am fully aware when we (Bethune-Cookman University, Volusia County School District, and I come up with a plan on how to get those Constitution booklets in the hands of the fifth grade students in Volusia County; the students must be on their toes because they know that Superintendent Russell is always watching for positive things going on within his district as well as all great superintendents should be doing.

My promise to the students of the Volusia County School District is that I will indeed have my car washed in your district next time or I will leave a donation for the most outstanding service club I can find.

Keep up the great work Volusia County; I will soon be there with the Constitution booklets for the fifth grade students. Until that time should arrive keep studying hard and please note that both the superintendent and I are keeping up with your great deeds. I can hardly wait until those Constitution booklets are in the hands of our deserving students.

I had a ton of fun at the Stone Crab Festival yesterday and will be there today to...

October 25, 2015

I am on my way back for the last and final day at the Stone Crab Festival but I could not go before posting some of the fun from yesterday on my blog page just for you:



 
 
This is how you have fun and earn funds for getting those Constitution booklets for the 200,000 fifth grade students in Florida as well. Please come out on this last day and have some while helping us reach the goal of getting a Constitution booklet in the hands of the entire fifth grade population of students her in Florida.
 
Your dear friend Joseph


I want to wish a very special Birthday to Lois Bolin without her support this fundraiser could not be possible.

As a Birthday Gift, the Steering Committee and I will match the donation earned today and place it in the funds raised today in the name of Lois for her birthday so you see it is special for you coming out today.

Stone Crab Festival started yesterday and I will have a booth for the next two days as well...

October 24, 2015

The party is on my friends! Downtown Naples is buzzing with the Stone Crab Festival.

Many thanks to Lois Bolin for giving the free space at the Stone Crab Fest which started last night,
Friday, October 23, 2015 and will continue until Sunday and I will have a booth each night.

We are going to get those 200,000 Constitution booklets in the hands of our youth and below is one of the major reason why:

It is truly on! I hope to see all of you out again today (Saturday, October 24, 2015) I will be under the bridge along side American Legions. Thanks for stopping by my station.
Constitution and Military Bracelets for $5.00. Each bracelet sold means five more booklets...

Joseph Cofield In addition to the bracelets, I will have Constitution booklets with every dollar earned going directly to reaching the goal of having 200,000 Constitution booklets in the hands of our students. Thanks Lois for giving me this opportunity.
 
It is all about the Constitution, our youth and the future of our nation. Therefore, I will stand these three days until I can stand no longer. Will you make the same commitment and take advantage of helping me reach the goal of getting those 200,000 Constitution booklets to our youth of Florida.
 
During this Stone Crab Festival, I believe over 20,000 people will have shown up for this event. I believe with your support we can get a great part of those 200,000 Constitution booklets for our youth.
 
I believe and my actions are going to show my commitment! Will you come out and support the cause?

Joseph Cofield If you figured that the Constitution booklets, bracelets, were all that you would see, you need to check this out my friend.
 
I completed the 27 miles across the 67 Counties of Florida. Now you can come out and help me get these bags in the hands of the citizens so that they can get a bag and donate a bag to our children for a donation of only $10.00.
 
In the older days when I learned math, I believe that it went something such as this! A person can purchase one either the blue or red pack back for $10.00. The person will receive a nice bag and one will be given to a student from any school district in the State of Florida the person decides. I will make the selection of the school if you cannot or will not decide.
 
Your $10.00 has now made it possible for 10 of the 200,000 fifth grade students of Florida to have a free Constitution booklet for their own personal use in order to use at school, at home, within the community. What a great way to expand the knowledge of the Constitution, share with the teachers, learn with family and friends, and prepare for a brighter future.
 
Your contribution of time, talent, and teamwork will make getting those 200,000 Constitution booklets possible. After traveling across the entire State of Florida, I am still committed to pushing my body until our youth have those Constitution booklets. 
 
I will see you at the Stone Crab Festival downtown Naples near Tin City (where I get my Stone Crab last nigh) and you will find my station under the bridge between Pinchers Crab Shack and the other side of the river with all the other booths.
 

 
Joseph Cofield We are going to reach that 200,000 milestone! You can help me get there and make great strives the next two days. Check me out under the bridge between after getting your Stone Crab and Heading to Party on the other side across Tin City. The fun will not stop and most importantly the students of Florida will get the Constitution booklets they deserve. Stop by and see what we have to offer.

Naples will be rocking this weekend October 24 and 25, 2015 and raising funds for great causes.

My journey across Florida ended and my teaching of the Constitution now starts...

October 20, 2015

Many of you asks what motivates Joseph to travel across the huge State of Florida doing 27 miles in each of the 67 Counties!

Those of you who have been following my blogs and webpage you have a little idea. Now the entire State of Florida and every educator will know.

My teaching of the Constitution starts full force now because I have sown the seed and time for me to continue my work.

Today, I start with a YouTube that I am sure everyone can identify. The importance of the 10th Amendment:


 


 
 
Please pass the word that those who do not visit my blog page or webpage will be missing out because I am starting to do what I was call to do in life and that is to teach.
 
My greatest joy after leaving the military completing a wonderful twenty one year (21) career was being part of the Troops to Teachers program and start teaching in the Public Education School System. I have now found my niche in the Educational World and that is teaching, promoting, and living the Constitution.
 
If you want to learn more about the Constitution, you can follow my blog, my website, and my continuing study of the Constitution; because you are going to be in for a treat as I teach the Constitution toward my build up for Liberty Day in March 2016.
 
 
Please feel free to leave comments so that I will know how to improve as I go forward in my teaching of the Constitution!

Constitutional Educator, Speaker. Author
1.     Transportation Bill: Corporate Cronyism & Big Govt - 2015-07-27 09:09:12-04
Thanks to the establishment GOP the “must pass” Transportation Bill being pushed is nothing but corporate cronyism, big international bank funding, and a gross expansion of federal power. So much for the party of smaller and limited government.
2.     Congressional Excuses to Expand Federal Power - 2015-07-28 15:59:09-04
More control over food, guns, and our lives…all courtesy of today’s popular excuses by the establishment to give themselves MORE power and the people less liberty.
3.     Understanding Tyranny & Ousting Boehner - 2015-07-29 09:29:58-04
A little lesson on reading legislation so we can see their efforts in total control and complete power. Finally a piece of legislation we can support… a resolution in the House OUST Boehner!
4.     And Congress Goes on Vacation - 2015-07-30 08:59:04-04
Baby Chop Shops? Affirmative Housing Dictates? Illegal Iran Deals? Unconstitutional Amnesty? Oust Boehner? No Worries…we will just go on vacation.

New Items from the 27 -67 Warehouse...

October 17, 2015

Many people have been asking how do I get those bracelets, tee shirts, back packs, and 27 - 67 Constitution booklets.

Well you need not look any longer, I have now completed the entire State of Florida. I have started coordinating with the school districts to get each of our fifth grade students Constitution booklets.

It now leaves me with some time to let you know how to get some or all of those 27 -67 items:

Take a look at some of the wonderful pictures from my adventure on Friday, October 16, 2015:








I hade the great honor of visiting the number one school district in the State of Florida according to the national ranking from the Federal Department of Education and MSN.

I believe this is no doubt that the Gilchrist School District is one of the best school district not only in the Florida but the entire nation.

I was so impressed with Trenton Elementary School that our Liberty Day Institute of Florida donated 700 of the nice pack bags for each of the 700 students and teachers as well as 120 of the Constitution booklets to the fifth grade students.

What a well deserving bunch of dedicated students, teachers, staff members, and administration. Everyone at Trenton Elementary School starting with the parents who have committed and put their trust in school to take care of their children and provide the best for them.

I you have time on your hand go visit Ms. Hodge and his cafeteria and you will start getting a feel of how special this little school truly is.

Cory deserves all the credit for this posting because I grabbed this off his Face Book page and just knew it had to go on my blog.

Thanks Cory!


 

I do have more posting of my Journey Across Florida to share but I cannot think of anything more important during my journey than taking a moment of sharing this with you.

I Thank God for you following my postings on my blog site!

How Success is Really Viewed...

October 10, 2015

Many people say, "Joseph, I cannot read all that stuff you write about on your blog and email pages.

Today, I dedicate this page to those who cannot find the time and my guest is that they still will not view my blog page.

Therefore, I truly dedicate the art work of "The Iceberg Illusion" to you my great friends! Thanks for viewing my blogs and you will be in for a great treat as I push toward getting those 200,000 Constitution booklets for the fifth grade students of Florida.





Special thanks to my faithful friend Heather who always follow my blogs. I would not have gotten this great art work with your posting on my blog.
