Take our Quiz and Register for Constitution 101
  
Dear Supporter of Liberty,Sean Hannity

I have been a huge fan of Hillsdale College for a long time -- and for good reason. They're the college that requires every student to take a course on the Constitution.

Now, they're making it available to you just in time for the 2012 elections.

You will learn from the same professors who teach their students on campus, including two sessions taught by my good friend, Dr. Larry Arnn.

You can sign up right now at no cost! This is the kind of education every American needs, especially during this critical election year!

Sincerely,
Sean Hannity

We require all of our students to complete a one-semester course on the U.S. Constitution prior their graduation.

AND take the Constitution Quiz
As Hillsdale's president, I have devoted my life to education, helping students understand the meaning and history of the American founding. Here at Hillsdale, we know that can only come about through a close reading and study of our nation's founding documents, particularly the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
In recent years, Hillsdale has worked hard to expand its educational outreach, teaching citizens and policy makers (especially members of Congress and their staffs) about the timeless truths contained in our nation's founding documents. This is a direct response to the way the Constitution is being ignored and violated by our government.
After all, the Constitution is the supreme law of our nation, the framework by which our country should be governed. Its principles and structures are responsible for the greatest government in human history.
Like you, I see the coming months as pivotal in the history of our country. And I am deeply concerned about the future.
Will we as a nation succumb to bureaucratic despotism, or will we take a stand for liberty?
The century-old attack on the Constitution, that continues today, has threatened to undermine our hard-won liberties, and is reducing Americans to subservience to an ever-expanding federal bureaucracy.
Please go here to enroll in "Constitution 101"
AND take the Constitution QUIZ
Our choice of whether to recover the principles of liberty and limited government under the Constitution will determine if we will remain self-governing citizens or become dependent subjects ruled by unelected bureaucrats.
That's why Hillsdale College is committed to restoring and reviving the public's understanding of the Constitution, once again making it the central focus of American government.
Over the years, many Hillsdale friends, even those who never attended college here, have commented to me: "Dr. Arnn, I wish I could take Hillsdale's Constitution course."
In response to these requests, this past year, for the first time ever, Hillsdale College offered, at no charge, a condensed "Introduction to the Constitution" online lecture series. Frankly, I wasn't sure what sort of a response a course like this would have.
However, more than 180,000 people from all over the United States registered for this program.
I was thrilled, not only by the reaction, but at what it indicates: Americans are willing and eager to study and defend the founding principles that made our country so prosperous!
This re-awakening of national interest in the Constitution comes not a minute too soon.
My Request to You
ACTION STEP #1: Please sign up for "Constitution 101" by completing the course REGISTRATION form and take our U.S. Constitution Quiz to test your basic knowledge!
ACTION STEP #2: Please include the best tax-deductible donation you can make to help Hillsdale College fund this vital project.
The course, available at no charge to the public, is not without cost to Hillsdale. The College has already invested much to make this landmark course a reality. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been committed to create and prepare the course for one of the most far-reaching webcasts in our history . . . and to mount a massive email, radio, and mail marketing campaign to enroll an initial ONE MILLION course registrants.
To make "Constitution 101" available nationwide will cost nearly $1,000,000. While a monumental expenditure for Hillsdale College, it must be made if we are to reach as many citizens and elected officials as possible during 2012.
ACTION STEP #3: Please forward this email to friends and family and encourage them to enroll in "Constitution 101."
OUR CHALLENGE
With your help, Hillsdale College is dedicated to returning the U. S. Constitution to its rightful place at the center of American political life.
If our republic does not reverse course, we may not be able to reclaim the liberty that has been lost, and we will lose the liberty we still have.
Hillsdale College has accepted this challenge, and our commitment to making "Constitution 101" available to citizens nationwide is proof. But we need your help to make this possible. . .
You know, before coming to Hillsdale, I often wondered how a small liberal arts college in rural southern Michigan could, as Ronald Reagan once described it, "cast such a long shadow."
The answer is simple. It can be found in adherence to our motto: Pursuing Truth and Defending Liberty since 1844. This phrase defines the purpose of the College, and gives life to the education we provide our students – which can now include you!
Our mission and principles make it possible for Hillsdale to accomplish what many would consider unachievable for a school of our size, including:
  • Proudly publishing Imprimis, a no-cost monthly speech digest that promotes liberty, for 40 consecutive years—now with a circulation of over 2.4 million subscribers;
     
  • Educating our students independent of any and all government taxpayer subsidy—even indirectly in the form of grants and loans; and
     
  • Establishing our Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in the heart of Washington, D.C. One of its chief purposes is educational outreach to our elected officials and their staffs on the principles of American constitutionalism.
Hillsdale College has worked tirelessly to safeguard the principles of liberty by educating citizens about the Constitution.
Go here to register and donate
And Hillsdale has done it all without a dime of taxpayer subsidy. In order to protect the integrity of its mission and prevent intrusive government regulation, Hillsdale College accepts no taxpayer funding whatsoever. We are proud to remain steadfast in this policy at a time when almost every other institution of "higher learning" is increasingly dependent on government support.
Thank you for supporting the mission of Hillsdale College. Before I close, I would like to ask you please to consider honoring Hillsdale with a special gift to support our vital work at such an important time in our nation's history.
Your generosity at this critical time will not just help underwrite the cost of making "Constitution 101" available nationwide. It will also support all the other ways that Hillsdale College educates Americans to be defenders of liberty and self-government.
MY GIFT FOR YOU
In appreciation of your tax-deductible gift OF ANY AMOUNT to Hillsdale College, it will be our pleasure to send you a gift, too, -- our beautiful blue and silver Hillsdale College pen, engraved with our motto, "Pursuing Truth and Defending Liberty."

In appreciation of your donation of $100 or more, I will send you a complimentary copy of my new book. Its title is:
THE FOUNDERS' KEY: THE DIVINE AND NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE DECLARATION AND THE CONSTITUTION AND WHAT WE RISK BY LOSING IT
In this book I explain the unique connection between America's two most important documents, how that connection has been severed today, and why we must repair it for the sake of freedom.
If your gift is $500 or more, you become eligible to have your name (or the name of a loved one you would like recognized) engraved on a brick on theLiberty Walk located on the Hillsdale campus.
But even a gift of $25 will help ensure that Hillsdale can continue to reach millions with the message of liberty via Imprimis. . . educate our elected officials and their staffs at our Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship . . . run Hillsdale-sponsored events and lectures in cities all across America . . . and continue to educate the next generation of leaders without federal or state government subsidy, even indirectly in the form of student grants and loans.
Your gift will help make it all possible. And for that I am grateful.
Please go here to donate
For liberty to prevail, Americans must come to understand and defend the Constitution.
