Complaining one day to my son about the ongoing erosion of civil liberties he sincerely asked, "Well, what are you going to do about it?" In resignation I jokingly replied, "Oh, have a beer," and we both laughed at my response. After serious thought - that moment for me became pivotal. I have always taught my students that if we each do our small share - great things can occur. As a teacher who loves history and deeply values the Bill of Rights I decided to move beyond my classroom and into the public arena. I purchased a colonial era outfit and armed with copies of the Bill of Rights I headed for the streets. That was six years and 5,000 copies ago.
