At Thursdays meeting of the Calaveras County Planning Commission,
the Calaveras County Taxpayers Association presented copies of The US constitution and Fascinating Facts About It booklets to the Commissioners and Planning Director.
The
Calaveras County Taxpayers Association (CCTA) is heading an outreach
effort to provide special copies of the US Constitution to public
officials in Calaveras County. In addition, the group hopes to reach
teachers, students and service clubs
The groups President, Al Segalla, said the first batch of The US constitution and Fascinating Facts About It booklets were also presented to county Supervisors at it's board meeting on Tuesday, February 25.
Bob
Mulvany, Project Chair for the group and former Planning Commissioner,
said "These booklets are unique and have had over two million copies
distributed. The
booklet contains so much more than the founding document, such
as Fascinating Facts About the Founding Fathers, The Declaration Of
Independence, The Articles of Confederation, The Supreme Court and 20
Landmark Cases In Supreme Court History to name just a few."
The
U.S. Constitution is one of the most influential legal documents in
existence. Since its creation, some two hundred years ago, over one
hundred countries around the world have used it as a model for their
own.
CCTA is seeking donations and help for more booklets and prizes for future winners of Quizzes and games featured on the companion website, ConstitutionFacts.com . The website contains a huge amount of interesting information including a Fun Zone for kids.
