Janine Turner's Love of Our Constitution



Janine Turner, self proclaimed tea partier, has started a non proft organization that is teaching people about the constitution and the federalist papers: Constituting America.  There is also a contest for kids.  It is an interesting way of getting children to be interested in our Constitution.  If you have children, please check it out as your kids can win a 2,000 scholarship and learn about our founding documents. 

Here is some info from her website:

Mission Statement







The American Constitution, signed on September 17, 1787, is as great a miracle as the ultimate victory from the British in 1782. Providence prevailed in both theatres. It was a monumental feat to beat the British in the Revolutionary War. Equally as awesome was the accomplishment of finding common ground amongst the varied American beliefs in writing the Constitution. Though our forefathers differed, they united in their mission, their vision: A republic; a democracy; America, the beautiful; America, the hope.






The American Constitution was the work of brilliant men with a vast knowledge of history and a thirst for righteousness. They believed that in order for American liberty to survive, her people must be educated. To quote John Adams, “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge of the people.”






Thus, the mission of Constituting America is based upon this principle: America will not and cannot survive unless her citizens, her children, and her students, are educated about the validity, necessity and Providential Divinity of the Constitution.






The Constitution should not be dismissed or relegated to obsolescence, for as surely as this is done, democracy will meet its demise. Knowledge of the contents of the Constitution and the values of our founding fathers is pivotal to enduring these challenging times.






A renewed, rekindled enthusiasm and a patriot’s desire for the understanding of our Constitution begins with its accessibility. Challenging the mindset of those who consider our Constitution to be antiquated, is our mission. An enlightened America regarding her roots, her basis, and her thesis is the key to America’s pertinent survival. Americans have rights. Americans must have knowledge to understand them.






Constituting America’s mission is to reach, educate and inform the youth and all citizens through modern technology and modern means, because we must not let those who devalue freedom dominate the debate.

I couldn't find your contact information, hence the comment:

At this time, we are sending out a copy of a new book entitled What Sex is a Republican? Stories from the Front Lines of American Politics and How You Can Change the Way Things Are to bloggers for review. In this political autobiography former State Representative to the Wisconsin State Legislature Terri McCormick takes a look at the political game from behind the curtain with one intention; to call on each of us to serve in our local, state and federal governments.

The link for What Sex is a Republican? Stories from the Front Lines of American Politics and How You Can Change the Way Things Are on Amazon is: http://www.amazon.com/What-Sex-Republican-Terri-McCormick/dp/0981572804/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268268958&sr=1-3

In her memoir, What Sex Is a Republican?, author Terri McCormick presents a case for courage from the perspective a lawmaker who is uniquely qualified to do so. Based on actual events, her book explains what happened to our political system when citizens weren't actively engaged and then she calls on each of us to change the way things are. This book provides an insider's perspective to the realm of American politics and the struggle of "career politicians" to stay in power at all costs. Coming from a grassroots background, she proves that ideas and "integrity leaders" can win over these career politicians and calls on Americans to take back the reins and restore a government for and by the people.

I'd love to send you a copy of the book for you to review on your blog. The author is also available for an author interview.

Thank you for considering the idea.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Rebecca
