"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt

"...if we proceed in this way we shall lay bare the sinews and tendons of the constitution; that we shall butcher it, and put it to death." Mr. Ames in Congress with regards to adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution. The Congressional Register July 21, 1789.

"TWENTIETH, That religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence, and therefore all men have an equal, natural and unalienable right to the free exercise of religion according to the dictates of conscience, and that no particular religious sect or society ought to be favored or established by Law in preference to others."
Amendments Proposed to Congress by the Virginia Ratifying Convention June 27, 1789

Hey! I won't be there -- we have family in town this weekend -- but let's grab some coffee together. Let me know a few times that look good for you in the next few weeks and we'll hatch a plan.

Hi Eleesha, and welcome to the Five Freedoms Network. It's great to have you here -- how did you hear about us?

The Constitutional Sources Project sounds interesting - do you have a web site?

As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.

As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.

In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)

You may also be interested in taking a look at our companion site - the Five Freedoms Project. The section on "What We Value" includes a variety of resources about the five freedoms of the First Amendment, our leadership framework, student voice, and impact factors.

Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. Thanks again!
