Bring the Bill of Rights to Your Town!
The U.S. is a nation supposedly divided by red and blue, and definitely by pundits. But it doesn't have to stay this way.This according to Chris Bliss, founder of MyBillofRights.org. Chris not only has an enviable name, but is a world famous juggler who happens to spend many more than six hours per week advocating shared American ideals.
More than anything, good and decent people of all stripes are dismayed over the deep divisions and polarization within the country, and looking for some positive first step they can take to build a bridge back to common ground.
It seems odd, doesn't it, that there are no monuments to the Bill of Rights in the U.S.? Anywhere? MyBillofRights.org seeks to place 3D odes to to the document on public lands in all 50 states.
Symbolic representations of what we share as U.S. citizens don't solve all of our problems, but really do have the potential to inspire. We must continue to strive to uphold the dreams and principles that our most essential documents represent. Shouldn't we be reminded of them at every opportunity? Progress has been made on erecting monuments in Arizona and Texas. Will your state be next?
MyBillofRights.org has provided a copy of the Bill of Rights here, with translations into 14 languages.

So many of the Amendments are being abused by the very people who are supposed to be upholding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights already. Our 4th Amendment rights are being hit the hardest. Illegal,warrantless wire tapping and spying on American citizens. Now the U.S. Government is trying their hardest to get the power to spy on ANY email it wants. When is it going to stop? Or how far will it go? I feel we are being set up to be completely controlled.
