LBCCS History
“Zeal without knowledge is like fire without light.” And US Air Force veteran Paul Fiske had both – for our nation’s Constitution. So in 2005 he created The Liberty Bell Center for Constitutional Studies. The entrepreneur and forward thinker noticed with growing concern the dangerous decline in people’s knowledge and understanding of the Constitution. Both political parties had left the Constitution far behind, focusing themselves and their constituents on temporal issues instead of on the eternal values in our founding documents. So with resources from the National Center for Constitutional Studies, Paul took his passion and knowledge and began LBCCS. But being ahead of his time, educational enthusiasm hadn’t caught on – yet. Then in 2009, with the surge in people’s awareness of governmental control seeping into almost every area of life, Paul resurrected LBCCS with the help of now Chairman, Ryan Burgett, and others. The fire once again had light! LBCCS seeks to stand in the gap and rebuild our educational foundation in the United States Constitution.
