This year, citizens across America are making a resolution to exercise and
lose weight of a different kind. They resolve to exercise their voting rights
to elect Constitutional candidates and lose the weight of bad politicians. In
increasing numbers, they are turning to the Abigail Adams Project for help.
The Abigail Adams Project originated in 2005. The Project educates
citizens through its Voter Guides that focus on the Constitution.
“We ask questions on the Constitution for two reasons,” said Deborah
Ringhaver Lane, President of The Abigail Adams Project. “First, the
candidates’ understanding of the role and responsibilities of their offices,
as they relate to the Constitution, can predict how they will vote on
legislative issues. Second, elected representatives vow to protect the
Constitution. Voters need to know if they understand it well enough to
uphold their oath.”
Ringhaver Lane explained that The Voter Guides are non-partisan and
non-controversial. “They can be distributed everywhere – family, church,
work, and community gatherings. She continued, “They have value for all
voters.”
Volunteers comprise the Abigail Adams Project. They strive to provide
guides in all 3,143 counties/county equivalents across the country. Seven
levels of Candidate Surveys are available to cover every Constitutional
office from the President to school board.
Citizens see the importance of the Constitution in today’s political climate
and the necessity of those candidates who support it.
“I felt the need to make a difference,” said Marsha Frost, The Project Ohio
State Coordinator. “I went to all the Tea Parties but got tired of just holding
a sign. When I was introduced to the Abigail Adams Project, it instantly
met all my needs.”
Jill Burns from Missouri joined The Project because, “I want to be a part of
an effort that teaches about and upholds our Constitution. It helps voters
make informed choices in all elections.”
Can Constitutional candidates make a difference?
Sheriff Richard Mack sued to protect the rights of the citizens in his
county, after learning of the gun control measures AFT demanded of
all county sheriffs, as a result of the Brady Bill. The Supreme Court
victory is heralded as a major ruling for the 10th Amendment; the federal
government cannot force the states to impose federal regulations on
citizens.
Imagine if the public and its servants understood the role and responsibility
of government, as defined by the original intent of the Constitution and
adhered to it.
