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.

I deeply appreciate the wonderful help from all the supporters in Collier County with getting the 27 - 67 project kicked off in Florida. I will be including more about this wonderful day once the official blogging of my journey starts on Wednesday, June 17, 2015.
Way to go Joseph. Good luck on your endeavor. It's such a worthy cause and so desparately needed.
