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.

Great Start on Monday

June 22, 2015

An amazing day today, I managed to complete both DeSoto County and Highland County.

I was really glad that I got an early start today because the weather was very hot. Upon my completion in DeSoto County, I noted the 87 degree. However, I was determined to complete both DeSoto County and Highland County.

I met some wonderful people at both the Administration Office and the schools that I managed to visit along my cycling routes.

Please look forward to my next posting for the great details from my 27 - 67 Journey Across Florida.

On my drive to Highland County after leaving DeSoto, I had an opportunity to stop in Hardee County and the radio station will make a big announcement of my journey in Hardee County! The announcement will be in both English and Spanish which is super and the reason that I will make my first journey tomorrow in Hardee County.

If you in the listening area, you will be in for a treat if you tune to WZSP-105.3 FM and WZZS-106.9 FM  located 7891 US Highway 17 South Zolfo Springs, FL 33890  - 863-494-4111 - www.LaZeta.fm.
