Project Principles

On Saturday I went to the Principles of Liberty seminar held at Mesquite High School. It was basically an in-depth discussion of The 5,000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen and it was really great. Bill Norton from the National Center for Constitutional Studies (NCCS) taught the class, as he does all over the nation. One minor note that he shared with us that I wanted to pass along is this: Between 1981 and last year, The 5,000 Year Leap had done moderate sales of about 60,000 copies. Mind you, that's over almost 30 years. In the last six months about 250,000 copies have been sold.
The NCCS has one objective--to get the people educated. I think that on a small degree it's working, but there is much more that we can do to help. The City of Gilbert sponsers a Constitution Week every year on the weekend of Sept. 17th. This year it will be held on Sept. 18-19th on the football fields behind Mesquite High School. It's a great opportunity to take your families and learn more about the founding of our country. Go to www.constitutionweekusa.com and click on Events Calendar to learn more.
