On September 9, 1777, future Chief Justice of the U.S Supreme Court John Jay had the opportunity to address the Grand Jury of Ulster County, NY. Among his remarks, he said: “Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country and teach the rising generation to be free. By knowing their rights, they will sooner perceive when they are violated, and be the better prepared to defend and assert them.”
At the Constitution Leadership Initiative, we have taken John Jay's charge to heart.
Although I've had to cancel the previously announced seminar planned for 29 August due to low registrations, I have rescheduled it for 19 September (two days after Constitution Day) and moved to a new location.
The seminar is built around the book "Our Constitution Rocks" by Juliette Turner, and each participant age 14-18 will receive a free copy. This is an explanation of the Constitution written by a teen for teens. In addition, each child will receive a free box lunch and Pocket Constitution. All this is made possible by generous donations to CLI's Young Patriot's Fund.
Thanks for your help in the cause of freedom.
