A+Phone+Call+To+A+Constitution+Signer

Here are some notes for the phone call.

=__**0:00-0:15**__=

Say hello and make small talk about things going on in the person's life. List four things you could talk about with your person.

1) Hello James Madison and how are you?

2) How is your family doing? I'm sure the table at Thanksgiving is really crowded with all of your brothers and sisters bringing their families too.

3) You must have been really smart to have graduated from the College of New Jersey (Princeton). I'm sure that your family was proud of you.

=**__0:15-0:30__**=

State why you are calling and the Article and section, or the Amendment you want to discuss.

Why calling?

1) I am calling about the 1st Amendment.

2) I am calling because of the Asian citizens aren't allowed to vote and I think that is being racist and that is not allowed in the U.S.

3) I think that is cruel of your government to do that and we don't do that anymore because of the racism in the country.

Article and section or Amendment calling about -- explain what it is in everyday language

1) In the 1st Amendment you're not allowed to be racist and in the 1960's there was a big time of segregation even though the 1st Amendment says no to segregation.

2) Nowadys, there is no segregation which I think is good.

3

=__**0:30-0:45**__=

Give an example of how we see that Article or Amendment in action today and if it is still working to benefit us?

1Who: I see the 1st Amendment being used to help the black guy Obama run for president

2What: It would be a first time to have a black president and I think that would be really cool

3When: The 2008 elections will decide if he becomes president or not and I hope he does become president

4Where

5Why

6How

7Keep it? Change it? Why?: I wouldn't change the fact that the 1st Amendment helps our country with the racism

=__**0:45-1:00**__=

Well I think I have given my point to you. I hope that you become the president! Peace be with you and your family!

=//__Write your complete script below!! Do not call unless you have your script completely written. Hand in your script on Wednesday.__//=

Hello James Madison and how are you?How is your family? I'm sure the table was crowded on Thanksgiving with all of your family. You must have been really smart to have graduated from the College of New Jersey or known as Princeton today. I'm calling about the first Amendment. I find it cruel that the black citizens aren't allowed to vote. The first Amendment allows all of the citizens to vote no matter what race you are. In the 1960's blacks and whites were segregated. Nowadays, all of the people of America aren't segregated. I see this Amendment being used today by the black man Obama running for president.It would be the first time to have a black president and I think that would be really cool. The 2008 elections will decide if becomes president or not and I hope he does. I wouldn't change the fact that the first Amendment stops peolpe from being segregated and being racist. I think that I have made my point across to you. I hope that you become president some day. Peace be with you and your family.
