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.

Update on Reunion/Celebration of the Constitution on June 13-17, 2016...

December 7, 2015  - Part 1

Do we dare to think of a celebration on Pearl Harbor Day? Yes, we can and yes we do!

Why because on this day the enemy attempted to test our resolve and even worse attacked our soil and dared the American Citizens to do something about it. Well the nation rallied together on December 7, 1941 and the young men and women came to the aid of their nation along with the entire nation to defend our "Freedom and Our Way of Live."

Congress with the call from the President and American People declared war on Japan the next day, December 8, 1941. What the enemy understood to be weakness and fear turned into the shaping of another page of the unity of the people in a belief and common goal. The American people understood our Constitution and values were at stake and everyone came together to do their part in winning the war.

Thus, you will understand why on this day I indeed stand calling to each and everyone who is willing and able to come join me during the week of June 13-17, 2016 and join in celebration of our James Madison Fellows Reunion and Celebration of the Constitution.

In order that I do not take away from the importance of this day, I decided to make this a two part blog. Therefore, you will find Part 1 in Memory and Salute to our brave men and women; as we observe our National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

It is because of this day that both our friend and enemy understood that we as a nation will always fight for our "Freedom and Our Way of Live." We rallied on December 7, 1941 and overcame great odds to win and we will do the same in June because the Constitution truly is the symbol of our freedom and equally important "The Constitution is our Contract with America."


The Constitution is our Contract with America
