We The People Foundation Overview
We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education, Inc. is a nonprofit education and research organization headquartered in Queensbury, New York, with the declared mission “to protect and defend individual Rights as guaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States.” The Foundation was founded by Robert L. Schulz in 1997, initially to conduct a statewide educational effort about the New York State Constitution, before shifting its focus toward federal constitutional and tax-protest litigation within its first two years.

The Foundation is the issuer of the 2009 Continental Congress AOCS Silver Round, struck to help fund the Continental Congress 2009, a two-week national assembly of delegates Schulz organized to debate federal government adherence to the Constitution. The round’s reverse carries the Foundation’s copyright claim as the abbreviation “WTP,” alongside the AOCS Approved acceptance mark tying the piece to the American Open Currency Standard and, through it, to AOCS Mint (Frisco, TX).
