Dear Friend,
I hope you and your family are healthy and safe despite these trying times.
There’s someone I want you to meet. Her name is Bailey.
Bailey is a fourth-grader who sent Hillsdale College a letter politely asking for a pocket-sized copy of the Constitution. You can read her letter for yourself by following the secure link I copied for you here:
https://lp.hillsdale.edu/signed-pocket-constitutions-to-k-12/
The letter was so sweet. You’ll see that it is red, white, and blue with hearts drawn down the sides. Bailey’s letter was included in a box full of notes from kids in her fourth-grade class.
These letters demonstrate how you can make a meaningful difference in the life of a young citizen…right now…today!
You can do so by taking a moment to sign a pocket Constitution that will go to students just like Bailey. And, you can sign one at the secure link I provided for you below:
https://lp.hillsdale.edu/signed-pocket-constitutions-to-k-12/
Efforts like this are more important than ever.
Far too many of our children receive an education that ignores or misrepresents the principles of freedom underlying America’s founding documents, as well as our American heritage of liberty.
Just consider The New York Times “1619 Project” that claims “our democracy’s founding ideals were false when they were written.” Shockingly, this series is now being taught in numerous K-12 classrooms, just like Bailey’s.
The adoption of the “1619 Project” shows that a proper civics education in American history and government has been abandoned in far too many schools. Countless young people like Bailey grow up unaware of the importance of the Constitution to liberty. And we’re witnessing how much of a threat that poses to freedom in America.
It’s the support of informed patriots like you that prevent many young students from being influenced by the far-Left’s notion that America is a hopelessly flawed nation.
It is against this progressive control of American education that Hillsdale College takes its stand. And in response, we are expanding our national educational outreach to overcome this ignorance. With your help, we’ll take genuine learning directly to Americans of all ages.
The College has remained true to its mission of providing “sound learning” for the preservation of “civil and religious liberty” for more than 175 years.
That’s why, after you sign a pocket-sized copy of the Constitution, I hope you’ll consider making a generous tax-deductible contribution to expand this program and other vital educational outreach initiatives on behalf of liberty offered by Hillsdale College.
Because of your support, teachers, schools, students, and parents will receive these pocket Constitutions at absolutely no cost.
Hillsdale College has already sent more than 500,000 copies to schools across the country, so I know the program is making a difference in your state as well.
Requests for pocket Constitutions continue to come in, even while school is out! They need to be ready as soon as the school bells ring again. I don’t want the demand to exhaust our budget for this work.
One more thing you need to know… Hillsdale College does all of this work on behalf of liberty without accepting even ONE PENNY of federal or state taxpayer support! Not even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants and loans. NOT. ONE. PENNY.
So generous citizens like you, who care about America’s founding principles of liberty, are critical to funding this pocket Constitution program for K-12 students, and every other educational outreach initiative at the College.
Given how things are today, it may seem like a distant hope that our country will return to normal. But it will. And when it does, we must be there to help educators teach the principles of liberty to students like Bailey. We cannot let them down.
With your help, I am committed to raising an extra $100,000 before the next school year, so this program and other educational outreach efforts that teach the Constitution can expand. We have no time to lose.
So, please use the secure link below to sign a pocket-sized Constitution for a young person today.
And afterward, please give your best tax-deductible gift, which will teach America’s founding principles of liberty to more and more young people in your home state and across America.

For our youth,

Class of 2001
Associate Vice President of National Donor Outreach
Hillsdale College
P.S. With every $25 gift, we can provide 125 students like Bailey with a pocket-sized copy of the U.S. Constitution. Your support gives our youngest citizens the knowledge they need to become informed patriots.
