QUICK NEWS UPDATE!

SPECIAL CLOSING CEREMONY FOR CONTINENTAL CONGRESS 2009?   Continental Congress 2009 is now scheduled to end within days of when millions of Americans bow their heads and give thanks to their Creator for food, family and friends.

Question.  Should CC 2009 end with a closing ceremony in an indoor arena with 6,000 Patriots giving thanks for Life and Liberty, with Freedom Fighters and Constitutional Scholars, Authors, Activists, Singers and Musicians as their leading Thanks Givers?

In other words, shall the free and the brave give America a Thanksgiving message She is most in need of and might ponder for years to come?

The folks who are facilitating a Continental Congress Of, By and For the People believe the answer is “yes,” and are now working toward that end.  They are working feverishly to work out the details and reduce the overall plan to acceptable contract language this week.

Once the contracts are signed we will host a News Conference and line up meetings with the local Chamber of Commerce, editorial staff of the media within the host city.  We will be issuing a News Release after the Announcement for national, state and local distribution.  Stay tuned for more details later this week.

CC2009 PSA’S ON NATIONAL TELEVISION

CREATIVE IDEAS OF THE WEEK

In two significant ways, the Pennsylvania State Coordinator, FRANK SZABO, has been successful in reaching out to spread the word about CC2009.

First, Frank has been successful in getting the State Library Board to agree to have a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT about CC2009 posted on the bulletin board at each and every library in Pennsylvania. 

Second, Frank has gotten the head of the association that runs the gun shows in Pennsylvania to agree that everyone who buys a ticket to attend one of the dozens of gun shows in PA will be given one of our CC 2009 Slim Jims along with their ticket. Frank has taken the original Slim Jim and added color and is having 10,000 individual color Slim Jims printed on cover stock for a total of $388.00!

Colorado’s JAMES MADISON has made two significant contributions. First, he prepared and is distributing thousands of copies of this new CC 2009 tri-fold, adding to the portfolio of eye-catching educational specimens that are finding their way into the hands of tens of thousands of Americans. Second, he has set up an 800 number for anyone to call to listen to a 4 min, 39 sec recorded message about CC 2009: 1-877-225-6059, ext. 9.

California’s KEITH BROADERS reminds us that on September 17th all of the schools in America are supposed to participate in “Constitution Day”. The students are to receive instruction and each school is expected to commemorate the ratification of the Constitution. Keith says in his county of San Bernardino there are 150,000 students in grades 7-12. Keith is in the process of calling each school district and asking them if they would like distribute FREE Pocket Sized Constitutions to each of their middle school and high school students. He is asking local merchants to underwrite this cost, requesting a donation of $.25 for each Constitution they personally sponsor. Merchants can purchase as many Constitutions as they wish. Each Constitution Booklet will identify the sponsoring merchant and have the website address for the “We the People Foundation for Constitutional Education.”
