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.

I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.

216 – Election Day 2020
The long awaited day is finally, almost, here. However I doubt the Presidential decision will be made on that day. But is that the only thing we should be focused on as we end the 2020 election season?
