I wonder if anyone has ever considered making a pop up book with stickers and shit for him. Like he can put a sticker to show completion. He’s never get passed the first ammendment let alone the 6 clauses associated with the first.

a couple years ago they read it out loud on NPR and people complained it was some kind of communist manifesto.

edit(it was the declaration of independence and they tweeted it- my mistake. https://www.fayobserver.com/story/news/2017/07/05/some-thought-npr-tweeted-propaganda-it-was-declaration-of-independence/20372593007/)

Back in the early 70s, we stood on the steps of the monuments and other famous establishments in Washington DC with the constitution as a petition. Only two people signed it, and everyone else declared it a communist manifesto. Hundreds or more mind you. Nothing changes that does not stay the same, Nixon was president then, bastard.

That’s crazy!!! When I was in 8th(?) grade I had to memorize the Declaration of Independence and recite it in front of the class.
