Chris Bliss
Chris Bliss, a stand-up comedian, received
his moment of fame when a video of
him juggling to a Beatles tune became an Internet hit a couple of
years back.
But he’s being nominated for a more compelling reason. Bliss
has begun a campaign to
erect a monument to the Bill of Rights in every state in the nation.
Given all the religious extremists who seek to post the Ten Commandments
in public places, it is encouraging to know there is at least one
person who understands that our nation was founded on the Bill of
Rights, not the Bible.
The Bill of Rights "has been forgotten, abused, and ignored," writes
the BuzzFlash reader who nominated Bliss.
Bliss says, "The country these days is like a couple in a bad
marriage. Everyone is either shouting at one another or sulking.
And when a marriage goes sour, you’ve got to return to your
vows. And the Bill of Rights are this country’s vows."
Well said, well said indeed. For his commitment to officially commemorating
the Bill of Rights in every state in the union, Chris Bliss merits
this week's BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award.
Bliss knows our Constitutional rights are too precious to juggle,
and risk dropping.
