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.

Another County is Completed

Today, June 17, 2015, I completed another 27 miles and established contact with the Charlotte County Public Schools District.

What an exciting day. I got up early because I could not sleep thinking about the wonderful day ahead of me. I checked my email and comment section for any new information. I have now started checking my Face Book now since many people are following my progress. I was really thrilled with the number of friends and family members following my journey across Florida.

My morning started at 5:00 a.m. and ended at 5:30 p.m. (a full work day) when I finally returned home to Naples. I will fill in my journey from today once I return from the Wellness Center/Fitness Center. I am now looking forward to a warm shower and the whirl pool.

Thanks for following my blog for today and I will indeed share my exciting day.

One of the most exciting days that I had here in Florida. My 21 miles of cycling took place in Punta Gorda. The bike routes in this city are really great. I made several stops to chat with the people, get fresh water, and most importantly explain about my 27 - 67 mission. I was impressed how much the people cared and how supportive they were. You will find more detail in my blog post of my journey across Florida in Charlotte County.
