Read the Founders

Welcome to Read the Founders

Posted on April 2, 2006

On July 4th, 2006, podcasters and bloggers from all over the country will read or post the words of our founding fathers. From the Constitution, to the Declaration of Independence, to the Bill of Rights and more, we will honor and recall the words that created this proud Republic.

Will you take part? You don’t have to do much… perhaps just post your favorite Amendment from the Bill of Rights. But perhaps you’ll do more… post an essay, a poem, a photo, or other creation.

Whatever you do, however you decide to participate, leave a comment to this post, so that everyone can find your blog or podcast.

You have the right to share:

Wow.

I mean wow!

What a great idea. I might just have to get the gear together to podcast something for this.

Re the Federalist Papers,
Important as they were and are, those advocacy pieces were not published in a vacuum. It may have been at the bookstore at the Visitor Center at Valley Forge National Park that I discovered The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention (ISBN: 0451625250),
Ralph Ketcham, Ed.. Consider that the Tenth Amendment reserves to the States all rights not specifically granted elsewhere in the Constitution to the Federal government. Arguments opposed to Federalism can be found in The Anti-Federalist Papers (and in the wake of anything done by Alberto Gonzales and his appointer). It was a little epiphany to realize that I had not read before the detailed arguments of the other side(s) of those Federalist arguments. Whether from your library, from Barnes & Noble or from Abebooks.com, you still can.

You cant imagine how much money they spend trying to silence good people who will put their lives on the line to fight for change.
