We invite You to Take the Founder’s Challenge!
The words of the Declaration of Independence are powerful!
We encourage everyone to read the Declaration of Independence. Read it out loud. Read it to others. Read it for your public functionaries.
Join us in this exciting challenge and invite your friends, families, and local schools to do the same.
- Read the Declaration of Independence for yourself, with your family, and with friends.
- Do a choral reading with others at church, at school, or at other gatherings.
- Organize a reading on the steps of your local city hall or county building.
- Memorize the Declaration (visit A Year of Civic Repentance for more details).
- Video record your efforts and share them on social media with the hashtag #CPFoundersChallenge so we can track and share your amazing accomplishments!
“As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar perhaps singular. What do we mean by the revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington.”
John Adams, Letter to Thomas Jefferson, August 24, 1815
