Over the holidays I came across and advertisment that caught my eye. Usually we I come to advertisments in magazines, I normally flip right by them, but this ad had something that most ads don't -- a meaningful point. The ad feature a mundane one dollar bill except for one thing, on the other side from the Washington's face, it features the full 27 amendments. Only 6% of Americans knows of all the rights and freedoms found in the First Amendment and I am sure that number is drastically lower for the other 26 amendments. The project is called the The Liberty Bill Act or around Washington D.C., it is known as S.244. H. R. 1785. It's mission is simmple, to put an abridged constiution on the back of the U.S. currency. The U.S. currency is of course very popular and universal. It would allow other countries to learn the true process and foundations of democracy and freedom. It also allows the citizens in this country to know their rights. No offense to the the current design of a pyramid that is currently on the back of the one dollar bill, but this I think would be more productive and important for our country. For more infomation about this bill check out The Liberty Bill Act.
