go out today & get a copy of the constitution

You can even find "pocket sized" versions at bookstores. Keep it in your car, or in your pocketbook, or in your pocket. Read it when you have a spare moment. Study what it says, learn your rights. Your well-being might depend on it one day.

1. Good idea!
After hearing about Proud Patriot's nasty encounter with FreeperCow, I want to be able to shout these morons down and beat them at their own game.

Armed.

2. Just like Sen. Bryd
He pulls his out of his coat pocket whenever necessary. And no one knows our Constitution better than Sen. Byrd.

Excellent idea!

3. I Have One
In my pocket, right now. It's like my ID badge for work, my wallet, and my keys... I never leave home without it.

My friends think I'm odd when I pull out the good old constitution from my pocket, but it's come in handy on occasion.

The pocket version I have comes from the Cato Institute and only cost about $5 and the blood of countless American patriots. It also includes the Declaration of Independence.

7. All kinds
I have one printed on antique looking paper. This is my prefered copy. I have a pocket sized book of it as well. One of the more interesting versions I have seen is one printed on a metalic placard (pocket sized). The idea being that when you go through airport security you have to hand over your rights while being searched.

10. I have the one that was given to me in boot camp (1982)
I had to put packing tape all over the cover because it got so worn out from being carried around!
