A whole group of celebrities, including Alec Baldwin, Sen. Robert Byrd, and Sam Waterston will be at Cooper Union tonight at 5 pm to read the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights. There will also be a rare 1787 copy for viewing. Police/firefighters will also participate. Go to the entrance at 7th St. and 3rd Avenue. This is being put on by the People for the American Way Foundation.
Personally, I think it is a very classy way to protest what is going on uptown in Madison Sqaure Garden.
Here's the link to the article, which I paraphrased above:
