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.Mission Statement, Purposes and Goals
The Liberty Bell Center for Constitutional Studies exists to educate all of our Lehigh Valley residents, young and old, to the original intent of our founding fathers when they finished creating the U.S. constitution in September 1787, and to teach the 28 principles that guided them when crafting this most precious document.
-We accomplish this task by:
1.Holding a monthly study/discussion group meeting.
2.Presenting historical movies/documentaries in separate gatherings.
3.Coordinating with local organizations to best educate the public.
-We use the book The 5000 Year Leap, by Dr. W. Cleon Skousen and the Heritage Guide to the Constitution which present the principles and documents upon which we base our governance.
-We are an apolitical organization, not affiliated with any of the country's political parties or associated P.A.C. groups therein. Our meetings are not political forums for disruptive discourse related to current events. Instead, ours is to educate and leave policy decisions to personal choice.
