In case anyone is interested.

Bump for later.

If you would like your mailbox JAM PACKED with junk mail solicitations for money from every cause under God's Great Sun, ask for this pocket Constitition.

Or, you could write your Congressman, who will send you one (and they already have your address).

I have one here on my desk right now. It's a very nice little reference.

[BikerNYC]

What parts do they leave out to make it pocket size?

[NMC EXP]

I suggest the "Citizens Rule Book"

Whitten Printers, (602)-258-6406

It contains the Declaration of Independance, the Constitution and BOR, and a Handbook for jurors (info from the Fully Informed Jurors Association (FIJA).

There is a small cost for this pocket sized booklet.

Thanks for the post. Constitutional ignorance is widespread.

It'll probably get you on their mailing list though.

BTTT, but I'm on enough mailing lists as it is!
They say "free", but the cost is that you get inundated with solicitations.

I bought a few hundred of both The Citizens's Rule Book and the Cato Constitution booklets to hand out in a 4th of July parade last year.

I decided not to use The Citizen's Rule Book and hence did not pass them out. I still have a big box of them. The reason I didn't like them was because I thought they were too political and not appropriate for my purposes. Although I agree with the politics in The Citizen's Rule Book, I thought they were too preachy and could be inflamitory. The Cato Books were just the facts, without commentary in a more professional looking package. It is 58 pages.

I also donated a bunch of the Cato Books to all the 5th graders at my daughter's school. (5th grade is where they learn about the Constitution.)

The Citizen's Rule book certainly has it's place. Sometimes you want a little propaganda in the mix, sometimes you don't.

[Britton J Wingfield]

Free? I paid $5 for mine last year. I stuffed stockings with them.

[Joe Brower]

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!

At the CATO dinner the other night a leather-bound Constituion was brandished. I have several small copies, but they are all either too bulky, flimsy, or filled with extraneous material to serve as a suitable reference. Where can a well bound leather or vynl pocket sized Constitution be purchased? Anyone?

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

I have four of them. Handy little volumes.

[FreeReign]

Just found out from a friend that the CATO institute is offering a free pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence (no shipping either).

I don't need Cato to send me anything. There are plenty of free copies of the Constitution on the Web -- thanks.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I'm already on their mailing list, so no worries. Thanks for the link.
