Good day, fellow American.

You are an informed citizen—I believe that wholeheartedly.

You love this country. You make an effort to understand what the U.S. Constitution says and what it means, and you aren’t afraid to stand up for America’s founding and the principles of liberty that define our nation.

Your leadership and knowledge are needed today…

We need more citizens like you—informed citizens—because America is at a turning point. Dangerous left-wing ideologies are taking hold thanks to a decades-long campaign by progressives to attack the Constitution and undermine liberty and patriotism.

The country you and I love will be lost forever if we fail to restore knowledge about the Constitution among our fellow citizens. We can’t let that happen!

That’s why I am writing to you today and asking you to be part of Hillsdale College and our new, nationwide initiative—the CAMPAIGN FOR INFORMED CITIZENS.

We are the foremost educational institution committed to reaching and teaching millions about freedom and limited government. The goal of this new campaign is to build generations of knowledgeable Americans who understand:

• WHAT the Constitution says
• HOW it relates to current issues and events
• WHY the preservation of constitutional principles is essential to liberty

If this campaign is successful, we will spread knowledge about the Constitution among millions of citizens, especially young people, that our education system failed.

These are young people that “educators” deliberately deceived or who just haven’t learned about a proper understanding of American history in school.

You are essential to the success of this effort to make America more knowledgeable.

That’s because we’re seeking 1,000 people in each state to help us teach the Constitution and its underlying principles of liberty to 10,000,000 Americans in the coming year, and this initiative starts with you—YOUR knowledge and YOUR insights.

And we must do this work without ONE PENNY of federal or state taxpayer support, even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants and loans. Instead, we put our trust in citizens like you who want what’s best for the country.

So please, share your opinions by completing the National Survey on the State of American Education today at the link below. Thank you for reading my email!
