Jesus is the Reason for the Season: Nativity Celebration at the Massachusetts State House
Massachusetts may be one of the most left-wing states in the country but that didn’t stop groups like the Massachusetts Family Institute https://www.mafamily.org/ and the Renew Massachusetts Coalition http://renewmacoalition.org/ to co-sponsor the 4th Annual Nativity at the State House.
Camp Constitution was on hand to videotape the event which was hosted by State Representative Marc Lombardo. Activities, which took place on Thursday December 19, included a spiritual tour of the State House conducted by historic reenactor Richard Hollond, scripture reading and singing Christmas carols.

Founder of Wolf PAC Cenk Uygur Endorses the Unspeakable
Cenk Uygur, founder of Wolf PAC, an organization promting an Article V Convention to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, is running for a seat in the U.S. Congress. Advocating something that today is still considered disgusting and reprehensible lost him Bernie Sanders endorsement. Viewer discretion is advised.
In September 2011, we caught an interview that Uygur was conducting with Professor Larry Lessig outside of Harvard University’s School of Law where he and Lessig both hoped for a runaway Article V Convention:

The Weekly Sam: Christian Education vs. Government Education
“The plain, unvarnished truth is that public education is a shoddy, fraudulent piece of goods sold to the public at an astronomical price. It’s time the American consumer knew the extent of the fraud which is victimizing millions of children each year.” Sam Blumenfeld, author, educator, and homeschool pioneer
In this presentation to a group of Christian high school students, Sam backs up his statement:

Helping Camp Constitution to Grow in 2020 and Beyond
From the national and international media attention we received from our Christian flag lawsuit, to our numerous speaking engagements, to our Samuel Blumenfeld Archive, to our outreach events, to our successful opposition to an Article V Convention, to our annual family camp just to mention a few, 2019 was a good year for Camp Constitution. And we have no intention to letting up in 2020. We are already signed up for several regional homeschool conventions, an all-day seminar in Upstate New York for early March and scheduled several speaking engagements. We will be participating in a learning center just a few blocks from Lexington Green, and hope to start a satellite Freedom Project school.

The program was sponsored by the library, and conducted by Mrs. Edith Craft, Camp Constitution’s Junior Camp Director, and her husband Rev. Steve Craft, our camp chaplain and instructor. Their topic was The Pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving. They did an excellent job, and were well received by the children and adults that attended the program.
We hope to see this catch on all over the country. Readers are encouraged to contact their local libraries to volunteer their services.

The Weekly Sam: The JFK Assassination and the Warren Commission Cover Up
This Friday marks the 56th Anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Many Americans rejected the finding of the report. Sam Blumenfeld was one of them. Shortly after the Warren Commission Report came out, Sam Blumenfeld toured the United States speaking out against the finding of the report. (He also wrote an unpublished book on the subject which we have in the Sam Blumenfeld Archives: http://blumenfeld.campconstitution.net/Manuscripts/Did%20The%20KGB%20Kill%20Kennedy.pdf )
It was recorded and released in both an 33 1/3 album and a reel to reel. This is a recording from a converted reel to reel that was in his estate:
