In honor of Khzir Khan whipping out his trusty pocket Constitution at the DNC last week, the ACLU has decided to give away free ones through Election Day. From [HuffPo](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/aclu-pocket-constitution_us_579e6a6fe4b08a8e8b5e6f45): > [@](#): > > On Friday, the group announced that miniature pamphlets of the United States’ guiding framework would be available for free until Election Day on Nov. 8. > > … > > Immediately following Khan’s speech, a pocket version of the Constitution briefly became a top 10 bestseller on Amazon. I ordered mine today, so from now on, get ready to be seriously lawyered on a regular basis by ol’ Happy. ---

I tried several times to order one but every time it tried to charge me $12.77 shipping. Apparently it’s only free for certain zip codes. ---

It’s free nation-wide. You must remember to enter the discount code, POCKETRIGHTS (all caps) to get it free, with free shipping. ---

Ha! I’m sure they won’t place you on their potential donors list and flood you with mail or anything, will they? It’s free for kindle from amazon, which I personally find more convenient. ---

Yeah, but if you whack a Trumpite with your Kindle, it might break. Ambiguous referent intentional. ---

There was a problem with standard (free) shipping not being an option with some zip codes. It looks like they resolved the issue today. Yesterday the lowest shipping option for me was UPS Ground $12.77. Today I tried it again and got Standard Shipping $0.00. Many people were reporting the same problem on the ACLU Facebook page. ---
