Democrats Donate Constitutions

Democrats Donate Constitutions
Jeanette Strong, member of the Churchill County Democrats speaks to 7th grade students about the Constitution.

On September 19, members of the Churchill County Democratic Central Committee donated 240 pocket Constitutions to the 7th grade students at Churchill County Middle School, as they are studying the Constitution. 

Teachers Gary Jamieson and Lynnaday Mort brought their 7th grade U.S. history classes to the school library, where the presentation of the Constitutions was given.

After the students were seated, CCDCC secretary Jeanette Strong began the presentation. She showed students a copy of the pocket Constitution, which also includes the text of the Declaration of Independence. She shared a brief history of the writing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, emphasizing the failure of the Articles of Confederation which preceded the Constitution. She then gave students an opportunity to ask questions. The pocket Constitutions were given to the two 7th grade teachers so they could hand them out to all their students. 

The Democrats have made this presentation an annual event since 2019 in order to encourage knowledge of and respect for the Constitution.
Other members of the CCDCC in attendance included Chair Scott Tudehope and member Kathy Reynolds. They thanked the CCMS staff for giving them this opportunity to serve our local students.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
