Minute Men

I’m sure you remember the Minute Men, those members of the Massachusetts Militia that were ready at a minute’s notice to rise to the defense of their fellow colonists. The third part of The Patriots Program is just that, a group of men and women ready to rise to the defense of their fellow citizens at a moment’s notice. All of us hear about some constitutional injustice or another from time to time. What if we could share that information, through a group like the Committees of Correspondence. What if we had people around the country who have been trained by a program like the Constitutional Scholars to defend their rights and the rights of others. And what if there was someone, or even a group of someones, who were prepared to stand up and help defend their fellow citizens? People like the Minute Men.

Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers. As I learned more and more about our founding fathers and documents I saw how little we know about how our country was designed to work and how many people just didn't care. I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.
