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.

New Items from the 27 -67 Warehouse...
Many people have been asking how do I get those bracelets, tee shirts, back packs, and 27 - 67 Constitution booklets.
Well you need not look any longer, I have now completed the entire State of Florida. I have started coordinating with the school districts to get each of our fifth grade students Constitution booklets.
It now leaves me with some time to let you know how to get some or all of those 27 -67 items:
Take a look at some of the wonderful pictures from my adventure on Friday, October 16, 2015:
I hade the great honor of visiting the number one school district in the State of Florida according to the national ranking from the Federal Department of Education and MSN.
I believe this is no doubt that the Gilchrist School District is one of the best school district not only in the Florida but the entire nation.
I was so impressed with Trenton Elementary School that our Liberty Day Institute of Florida donated 700 of the nice pack bags for each of the 700 students and teachers as well as 120 of the Constitution booklets to the fifth grade students.
What a well deserving bunch of dedicated students, teachers, staff members, and administration. Everyone at Trenton Elementary School starting with the parents who have committed and put their trust in school to take care of their children and provide the best for them.
I you have time on your hand go visit Ms. Hodge and his cafeteria and you will start getting a feel of how special this little school truly is.
Joseph
