Constitutional Study Group

Pinellas Patriots will conduct the first of a series of Constitutional Study Workshops at the Gladden Park Recreation Center in St. Petersburg. The workshops will be informal and interactive (yes, that means quizzes) with additional study materials available to take home. We especially encourage any and all teenagers to join us (let's see how many 'rents are "smarter than a fifth grader")! This workshop is free of charge and you don't need to be a member to attend; any members of our neighboring 9/12 teaparty groups are welcome. Questions regarding this event can be sent to Vicky K or Kristina G. We are very excited to host this event and we're really looking forward to seeing you there!

    This was a really good meetup, I'm looking forward to the next one. It might be a good idea to discuss some of the examples where the government has over extended past their constitutional rights. Such as Wickard v Filburn or gonzalas v raich.

    I want to thank all the great folks who took time out of their day to join us for our first workshop. It was very encouraging to see how awake and engaged everybody was. We hope to see you all next time, and remember to bring a friend!

    Great job putting this together for us. You don't know how much it means to me to be able to just show up and learn!
  • Lynn Lee
    Good information in a small dose/ Didn't feel over whelmed.
  • Natalie Roberts
    I thought the meeting was very well planned. We learned a lot and need to learn more obviously. What a busy place but the room was nice enough. See you next time.

    Hands together for the effort and the end result to both Kris & Vicky! A wonderful introductory session that forced us to realize how little we do know about the Constitution. And certainly making us realize that we must learn..and learn quickly! Thank you guys!

    Assistant Organizer
    This class was GREAT! The participants were enthusiastic and eager to learn as much as they could. I look forward to the next class and invite others to join. A BIG Thank You goes out to all the "5th Graders" for their patience and indulgences during our first meeting. You helped make the Inaugural Constitutional Study Group meeting a complete success.

    Good discussions and good handouts, which will be read for sure. A noisy room, it was. Good to see so many there. I am not smarter than a fifth grader. John
