My name is Virginia Bailey. I have known Joseph Cofield, President Constitution for the People, Inc. for many years. I have volunteered in the Constitution Project, I have served as Secretary, I have served on the Board, and now that I am retired and have served and enjoyed every moment. I am so proud of the CFTP because collaboration with other organization has proven to be very successful. Working with supportive organizations and forming strong partnership with many of those organizations is one of the major keys for the outstanding job this Nonprofit Educational Organization. It is truly a great joy to watch now from the sidelines how Joseph and his team continue to carry out the mission of getting United States Constitution Booklets into the hands of the 5th graders in Florida and across our great country.

My name is Laura Lee Walker
I have always considered education important, and our citizens informed as to how
our government was created and run. Students in the fifth grade should be able to
comprehend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I support The Constitution for the
People, Inc. for creating the booklet that allows the students to become better citizens.

Mr. Joseph Coefield with Constitution For The People, Inc. is a non-profit with grit and heart. Providing Constitution Booklets to Florida's 5th grade students is the dedicated mission and passion of Mr. Coefield. He has supported our local National Society Daughters of the American Revolution chapter in getting these booklets to 2000 5th graders. This is the 3rd year we have worked collaboratively with Mr. Coefield and his business partners in order to purchase and distribute the books during September, in commemoration and celebration of Constitution Week, as per the U.S.Congress, observed September 17 - 23.

This non-profit has provided excellent materials, (Constitution Booklets), to our NSDAR Chapter. We have in turn given the booklets to 5th grade students in public schools in our community in celebration of Constitution Week, September 17th - 23rd.
One of the best things is that Mr. Coefield has helped us find a matching partner donation for two years in a row. Without his generous help, we could not service all the students in our 5th grade public schools.

Our club has worked with The Constitution for the People for 6 years now. The 46 page Constitution booklets are a valuable resource that teachers are using in the classroom. We donate these booklets to 7th grade Civics class students during Constitution Week. Joseph Cofield, founder, is a pleasure with which to work and will always put the customer and the students first.

I reviewed this non-profit previously, but i must write again because I think this organization should have another chance to be recognized as a great non-profit! Joseph Cofield, the founder, a former teacher, with a true teacher's heart, knows first-hand what is needed to educate the youth of our country and at what age they can best learn about the laws of our land. He had a vision to provide every 5th grade student in Florida with their very own copy of the US Constitution every year. He has been successful in doing that, but Joseph does not yet define that as a successful mission. He has expanded the mission to include some other states, but his desire is to expand the mission to students in all states. It takes great effort to stay focused and financial help is needed to achieve the goal. As a former military man, he knows how to get the job done and will stop at nothing to achieve it. I hope others will see the value of helping this very important mission and give generously to help the future leaders of our communities to gain a foundational knowledge of our laws.

A very worthwhile cause to help children and their families unite together across the state of Florida as well as around the country to learn about the constitution of the United States.
The booklet they provide is a great tool because it gives more information than just the constitution. It also has questions and answers that help children and adults learn together!

My name is Margit Cofield, wife of President Joseph Cofield, Constitution For The People, Inc., I am writing this review because I have never seen anyone so dedicated and committed to a single project. Joseph works tirelessly daily to make sure the mission of the Constitution Project is fulfilled. It is a joy to see how successful the non-profit educational organization has become over the years. By being nominated as a 2024 INCredible Awards Finalist further motivated Joseph and his team to reach even higher levels of success. The CFTP even awarded Teacher of the Year and Student of the Year scholarships and certificates this year. I am very proud to write this review for such a wonderful organization.

The Port St. Lucie Sunset Rotary Club has been working with this organization for 3 years now. Constitution for the People publishes a very high quality, easy to read and understand explanation of the Constitution.
Our club purchases and delivers the Constitution Books to local 7th grade classes in our community. Each year, we have been able to add additional schools due to the fair pricing that this organization offers us. They are committed to ensuring that every 7th grader learns about our constitution. Mr. Joseph Cofield has actually driven across the State to bring us our books. We are extremely proud to partner with this organization to offer this important book and lesson to our young citizens.

As a longtime supporter and donor to Constitution For The People, I know for a certainty the heartfelt vision and mission of this non-profit to provide this nation's 5th graders with their own personal and free constitutional booklets, to use at school and at home.

Never before in the history of the state of Florida has a single non-profit organization with the specific intent on providing free and personal copies of the United States Constitution to 5th graders in our educational school systems achieved the spectacular goal of giving out one million copies in its 5th year. Now in its 7th year, I am more than delighted to continue my donations to the success of children!

This is an amazing organization. The main focus is on civic education for young students. Getting them their own copy of the US Constitution and introducing them in a fun and age appropriate way is a great formula for preparing children to be engaged citizens. This organization puts all of their donations and energy into expanding the mission, not to the pockets or interests of the organizers.

My husband, Joseph Cofield, President, impressed me so much today that I had to share with others the passion and drive he have for the Constitution For The People, Inc, non-profit educational organization. The reason I know that this organization is such a superb and top rated is pour his heart and soul into every aspect of the mission. I saw him checking each United States Constitution booklets before shipment to make sure no defect and the customers got their shipment on time. He takes the time to make sure every customer receives a Thanks You Note for the support rendered. My husband lives the United Stated Constitution both day and night. Which, I know is one of the great keys to the successful non-profit and why this amazing organization, Constitution For The People, Inc. earns my Five Stars and Far exceeds my expectations. Margit Cofield, Wife, Donor, and Supporter/Volunteer of the Constitution For The People, Inc. (I even make Mango Preserves as you can see on the CFTP website and as well help label and prepare the booklets for shipment.) Finally, I want the readers to know I believe so much in my husband's mission with the Constitution For The People, Inc. that I even allow him to store the booklets temporarily until he can get those booklets in the hands of those deserving children.

The Constitution for the People began because a middle school teacher did not like the lack of knowledge his students had about the Constitution. He discussed his concerns with his government teacher. Both of them were former Army members who had served in Germany and the professor was a former junior high school principal for 13 years. The student was a junior high school teacher. They talked about how to get people involved in the project. The professor suggested that they call it " 27 in 67:. Why? 27 Amendments in 67 counties!! So Joseph visited all 67 counties. People became interested and involved in this project because of the work of Joseph Cofield. He financed most of the early work from his retired military pay. The students needed an explanation of the constitution that they could have forever. So Joseph and his colleagues developed a Constitution booklet that not only had the document but founders' words, web sites, a test with answers, and the page where the student would write his/her name to show that it was his booklet.

the booklet has had several revisions which improved it by making it more visually attractive and by expanding the information and learning tools.
I am pleased to support the project because of the great work that Joseph Cofield and his colleagues have done.

Presenting the US Constitution in a non-partisan and interesting way that connects with young students is a great mission. The leadership of this organization is tireless and selfless.

I met Joseph Cofield through a friend of mine and had no idea what he was involved with until much later when I saw a newspaper article about him. It amazed and inspired me to have him be a speaker at one of my lodge meetings, as well as at Bradford Square in Naples where I am now living. He is a very special man who is doing all that he does for our children. He is at the top of the list of great human beings.

I worked as a volunteer for Constitution for the People. Its mission is commendable and the passion and dedication of its founder and president is unimpeachable. You can be sure that your donation is supplying a student with their own copy of the US Constitution, creating a more solid base on which that student can grow into an informed citizen.

This organization's project is addressing one of the major failures of our education system; that Civics and American History have not been taught in our grade schools in a long time so our kids have no knowledge of the Constitution, nor do they understand their rights that are protected under the Constitution and therefore no encouragement to respect or defend it. Joseph Cofield works tirelessly every year to make sure every public school 5th Grader gets a copy of the Constitution workbook so they have the materials they need to study our founding documents in their classroom during Constitution week. This is an important project that I regularly donate to and highly recommend. It is worthy of community support for helping our kids learn how to be better citizens. As a business owner I look at the photos of the 5th graders proudly holding up their Constitution booklets and see the future leaders of our country and am glad they are studying those booklets so they understand the laws our country was founded on.
