Department of Defense PIN 20111 TOM SCHULER, COBBLER-STATESMAN THIS ANIMATED FILM TELLS THE STORY OF TOM SCHULER, AN ORDINARY COBBLER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ERA, WHO PLAYED A SMALL BUT VITAL ROLE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION. AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN, TOM SCHULER TOOK AN AVID INTEREST IN THE MANY PROBLEMS THAT FACED THE COLONIES AFTER REVOLUTIONARY WAR, PARTICULARLY ON THE ISSUE OF FEDERAL AND STATES RIGHTS. HE WAS ELECTED AS A DELEGATE TO THE STATE CONVENTION FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. AT THE CONVENTION, TOM MADE NOTEABLE CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE FORMULATION OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS, AND IN THE ENUNCIATION OF THE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES INHERENT TO LOCAL STATE GOVERNMENTS WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OF A CENTRAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE THEME IS DEVELOPED JUST AS TOM SCHULER DID IN HIS TIME, THERE IS NO LIMIT AS TO WHAT WE AS PRIVATE CITIZENS CAN DO TO IMPROVE THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE BY TAKING AN INTEREST AND ACCEPTING OUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN SOLVING THE MANY PROBLEMS FACING OUR COUNTRY.
