Convocon: Born on the 4th of July, 2006

Over two centuries ago a group of daring men having a full knowledge of the consequences of their actions, took their lives in their hands and committed treason against their mother country for the cause of freedom.

Convocon: Conversations on the Constitution

The constitution of the United States is a singular document drawn without the benefit of any template in the history of this world. It established a government to protect the rights of the people, but unfortunately, people no longer understand the beauty of the document created by our Founding Fathers. As a people, we have departed from the original intent of this document and have sought to make it something it is not. The purpose of this site is to help restore that understanding by first, providing a place for people to study the Constitution under the guidance of those that have spent a lifetime studying it, and second, to create engaging programs for youth to better understand the issues we face in society today and to learn to identify what the Constitution does or does not provide in the way of solutions to those problems.
