Phone in your question to President Thomas Jefferson
You can now call the Thomas Jefferson Hour and leave your question for the President on voicemail. Call 701-221-2425. Please be sure to speak clearly and leave your name and contact information.
The goal of each of The Thomas Jefferson Hour® programs is to tease out the truth of each topic in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson - the founding father educated in Enlightenment ideals and considered by many to be the visionary of the founding of our nation.
Humanities scholar and author, Clay S. Jenkinson, adopts the persona of Jefferson each week to comment on current events and answer questions you may have about Jefferson's thoughts on any and all topics. Clay has portrayed Thomas Jefferson for more than two decades. He is the recipient of the National Endowment for the Humanities highest award, then called the Charles Frankel Award, for his humanities-based first person interpretation methodology, and is currently the director of The Dakota Institute through The Lewis & Clark Fort Mandan Foundation.
CD copies of The Jefferson Hour can be purchased by calling The Fort Mandan Foundation at 1-877-462-8535
The 35 Words Project
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The Thomas Jefferson Hour is gathering audio versions of the “35 Words” in as many different languages as possible for use in a future program. Clay Jenkinson is asking for listeners who speak a foreign language and are willing to participate in this project to make a recording and send it to us.
