Excellent point. I once wrote to my state senator and representative, Stephen Wise and Jennifer Carroll, both Republicans, suggesting that all graduates from high schools in this state be required to pass a comprehensive test on The Declaration of Independence, The United States Constitution and The Constitution of The State of Florida. I never received a response. Roderick T. Beaman,D.O. Board Certified Family Physician Protect freedom. Disarm the government.

Since they are by definition officers of the courts one would think they have to do so. How can they uphold the Constitution if they have no idea of what it says and less of an idea of what it means. We have recently found out that many of our elected officials do not want to know what it says or means. John Wayne In a message dated 5/13/2010 11:55:45 A.M.
