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.

Do you know...

October 9, 2015

This is the honor system now! Please do not cheat.

I normally give a statement of fact that should be well knew but people tend to forget.

If you are a true Floridian, you will get this question right away.

The first person to correctly email me the answer to this question without using the Goggle or other internet sources will be the winner of a free movie pass for the movie of your choice.

The question is:

On December 3, 1838, in order to prepare for statehood, it was necessary for the 56 delegates to meet and have a convention. Many people know that Philadelphia is where Constitution Convention was held for our United States Constitution. Please be the first to share with me:

The town where the Florida's first State Constitution Convention was written?

Did you know that only three (3) of the 56 delegates were natives of Florida. The others were natives of 13 of the Union's 26 states at that time. Interesting enough, you may want to know that four of the delegates came from foreign countries.




I will give you more information about why this site was selected in my next blog.

Please be the first to get the answer correct and email the answer to me at:

josephcofield@embarqmail.com

or for those of you who longer do email, you can do the Face Book link if you.

I chose this two social media because it gives me the actual time so there is no need to guess who got the answer correct and first to email or post on Face Book!

Joseph
