To help Americans celebrate and remember the freedoms embodied in the first 10 Amendments, the Bill of Rights Institute has created a new website for Bill of Rights Day.

Americans are encouraged to explore the text of the first 10 Amendments, landmark Supreme Court cases and decisions based on those amendments, as well as various resources, games, and videos on the website.

The Institute asks all Americans to join together and pledge to take 10 minutes to read through the Bill of Rights on December 15, and to visit BillofRightsDay.com to sign the pledge. The Bill of Rights Institute is also urging all employers to give their employees 10 minutes to read the Bill of Rights either on their own, or together. "The celebration of Bill of Rights Day encourages Americans to think about how vital the Bill of Rights is to the future of our country," said Bill of Rights Institute President Tony Woodlief. "By thinking about how our rights are evident in our Founding documents, Americans will begin to see how their own lives are affected by the Bill of Rights and how their actions are important in supporting the experiment in self-government started by our Founders."

Bill of Rights Day is sponsored by the Bill of Rights Institute, a nonprofit educational organization. More information on Bill of Rights Day can be found at www.BillofRightsDay.com.

The Bill of Rights Institute, founded in 1999, is a nonprofit educational organization. The mission of the Bill of Rights Institute is to educate young people about the words and ideas of America's Founders, the liberties guaranteed in our Founding documents, and how our Founding principles continue to affect and shape a free society.
