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.

Alachua County both by day and night...

August 20, 2015

Many of my "Gator" friends wanted so badly to see a few pictures of Gainesville so I decided to post a few. The story of my trip will come later as I am continuing my trip across Florida. I briefly had to return to Naples and repair my automobile.

Please do enjoy the pictures of the Gator and the VFW State Headquarters. I would like to add that the VFW stepped up and sent a message across Florida tasking the local VFW organizations to support our Constitution project.

It was worth doing the 27 miles by night and enjoy the beautiful of this location in Alachua County and Marion County.


 
And a look at Ocala and Gainesville by now with the glow of the VFW and its great support!
 


 
More interesting posting of my time in Gainesville as well as Ocala and the wonderful support from the VFW State Headquarters as well as the local VFW organizations in Naples.
 
For 115 years, VFW programs have been there for veterans, service members and military families when they need a helping hand and it is a great joy to know that this same great organization is helping to get the Constitution booklets in the hands of our fifth grade students here in Florida.
