I get copies of the pocket Constitution like the one pictured above for 50 cents each from:

Betty Cordoba
Center for Teaching the Constitution
P.O. Box 5118
San Marcos, CA 92079

Tell Betty that Joe Brower sent ya.

I bought 150 of them at the beginning of the school year last September and gave them to the Marine Corps JROTC unit at the high school here in Venice, Florida. Every kid got one. By doing that, I've "broken the ice" with the Colonel in charge of the unit, and I'm already scheduled to come in as a "guest instructor" next year and expound on this, the greatest of all political documents ever written.

I'm going to buy a couple hundred more in the next few days so as to have a stock on hand for this coming 4th of July, where I will don my tricorn hat, colonial woodsman's vest, and canvas haversack, and carry these along the parade route, handing them out to anyone and everyone who wants one, along with some JPFO "Gran'pa Jack" booklets on the Bill of Rights. Just call me Johnny Appleseed -- you never know what will grow where. Should be a fun day!

I offer the above approaches in American "evangelism" for the consideration of any and all Freepers to try in their own communities. It's not at all difficult, and can be rather fun!

One of the finest ideas I've seen in a while. Thanks, FRiend.

A BTT for the best idea I've heard in a long time!

I have one - fits in your pocket and it's the most subversive document the world has ever seen. I last used it to show an unbelieving young woman that yes, dear, women did in fact have the vote before 1960. She was serious, and a soon-to-be graduate of a nearby university whose name will not be mentioned but which was named after a very important guy who was our first president. No, not Marx.
