I think the constitution needs to a good PR agent. Somehow it is now popularly thought to be unimportant.

Agreed. Unfortunately, too many citizens who would criticize what happened in that video as a First Amendment violation don't get upset about blatant Second or Fourteenth Amendment violations. There's a tendency for individuals to pick and choose what's important to them without recognizing the value of our Constitutional rights, as a whole. When we stop caring about all of our rights, even those that some of us might not utilize, we start to lose all of them.

It appears that, as long as Kerry can do the things he wants to do in his life, he doesn't care about another's rights being violated (such as a student's right to speak his mind, a gay couple's right to marry, or a woman's right to defend her home with an SG 510). I'm sure that applies to many politicians, but as you guys noted, Kerry was right there.

Note to self...
Stef's Powerball List: Item 4,817 (move to Item 1) - Buy national television and radio ad time to promote the Constitution, focusing on a different Section or Amendment in each spot, starting with the Bill of Rights. Hire The Martin Agency to create the ads. Approach the project as a Schoolhouse Rock! for adults.
