A civics lesson on the back of a dollar bill? This sounds like a neat idea. A proposal by Randy Wright and his students is to print an abridged version of the Constitution on the back of the dollar bill. Mr. Write is a civics teacher at the at Liberty Middle School in Ashland, Va. For 6 years Mr. Write and his students have been garnering support from support of senators and congressmen from both parties, to impliment the new Dollar bill. The proposed Bill has been dubbed the Liberty Bill which we think is a great name.

The idea is not only to educate Americans, but friends and not so friendly folks abroad. "The dollar bill is one of the most circulated pieces of paper in the world," Mr. Write says, noting that two-thirds of the $7 billion in existence circulate outside the US.
