There's startling statistics I want to share with you today, but don’t worry, I also have some exciting news. First, the shocking stuff... Recent surveys show that 57% of Americans haven’t read the Constitution. So when you are walking through your neighborhood, chances are good that in every house you pass, one person who lives there hasn’t read one of our most important founding documents! But there’s one more stat I’d like to give you… 26% cannot name a single right protected by the First Amendment—not freedom of religion, not free speech, not freedom of assembly—not a single one. These startling statistics show that if we hope to restore liberty in America, we must teach millions of our neighbors about the design and purpose of our Constitution. It’s the only way to protect our freedom for the long term. That’s why we’ve been working on a brand new way to do this...one that I’m excited to share with you today. For months, we have worked to produce a version of our most popular free online course, “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution,” that we are airing on television networks nationwide. In other words, we are bringing [“Constitution 101” directly into the homes of millions of Americans. In fact, our current media plan has the spot reaching as many as 70 million households over one month!]( Do you think Americans should learn the history and meaning of the Constitution on TV? [YES]( [NO]( Imagine citizens of all ages learning about the design and purpose of the Constitution...imagine them having the chance to understand the beauty of our founding documents and how they’ve been undermined. Most of all, imagine millions of people learning how we might revive limited government in our time! You can see why I’m excited about this and why it’s so important that I share this with you today. This new effort is a major escalation of our Project to Defend Liberty Nationwide by Reaching and Teaching Millions...which has as its aim nothing less than educating as many of our fellow Americans as possible—so we can save our country. This new television program redoubles our efforts to reach and teach citizens of all ages about the Constitution and liberty. It’s also why we urgently need your support. You might be surprised to learn that airing “Constitution 101” on television networks isn’t as expensive as you might think. To air the 30-minute program and other spots across dozens of networks for one month costs just $275,000...total. We’ve negotiated discount rates and identified networks that will be the most effective. Compare that to the $7 million businesses pay to have their 30-second commercial shown once during the “big game.” So, airing one 30-minute segment of “Constitution 101” on FOX Business might cost as much as $9,000, while other networks cost just $200—which means your generous tax-deductible gift of $500, $250, $100, or even $50 will go a long way. [With this in mind, will you help us fund our media budget and all of our other work in the Project to Defend Liberty?]( You can learn more about our plans and make your gift using this secure link: [( After reading those statistics, I’m sure you’ll agree that our educational outreach on behalf of liberty, like free online courses, has never been more urgent than it is today. As James Madison wrote, only “a well instructed people…can be permanently a free people.” We refuse EVERY PENNY of government funding—even indirectly in the form of federal or state student loans and grants, so Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn and I are counting on you!
