This legislation is related to a bill I introduced last year based on the idea of students at Liberty Middle School in Ashland, Va. Working with their teacher, Randy Wright, this began as a school project several years ago. I commend these students and Mr. Wright for their continued dedication on seeing this idea realized.

I agree with the students of Liberty Middle School that the Constitution belongs to the people. It should be in their hands. I am pleased to support this important initiative. ____ By Mr. CAMPBELL: S. 1226.
