This document, modeled after Mason's 1776 work and drafted by fellow Virginian James Madison, was viewed with approval by the owner of "Gunston Hall." Noting that only two or three further amendments were needed, especially to restrain the federal judiciary, Mason said that he could support the Constitution.

 george mason
Mason does pay homage to the Immortals by covering “All Blues” by Miles Davis and “Impressions” by John Coltrane, but being the true talent that George Mason is, he molds those two tunes into his own image.
Aside from Mason’s infectious playing, the other surprise of the recording is bassist Mark Harris, a solid accompanist who can also drive a tune, as he does in the funky title track, which moves the album into a more contemporary vein.
Mason's violin is outstanding, with a pure tone and lines not unlike a saxophonist's), and Harris provides bass support and also feeds sustained chords to Mason, with a sound reminiscent of Philip Catherine's support on Dexter Gordon's unique “Something Different.” It's a nice sound.

 ESPN.com - NCB - George Mason stuns UConn in OT; next stop: Final Four
George Mason, having by far the best season in school history, had never won an NCAA Tournament game until it beat half of last year's Final Four -- Michigan State and No. 3 seed North Carolina -- back-to-back in the first two rounds.
Their lead was 12 when George Mason got a boost just before halftime -- Campbell's three-point play with less than one second remaining cut the deficit to single digits, 43-34, at the break.
But Mason didn't wilt in the overtime, making Butler's Final Four prediction come true, a prediction he brashly made when he was recruited to George Mason.

Mason finally will get his due this morning, when the George Mason National Memorial is formally dedicated on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The event begins at 11:00AM, with Chief Justice William Rehnquist delivering remarks.
Mason actually opposed slavery, which he called "that slow poison, which is daily contaminating the minds and morals of our people." At the Constitutional Convention, he spoke against allowing any mention of slavery to appear in the text of the Constitution.
The George Mason National Memorial is located in a place formerly known as Fountain #4 Garden — or commonly as the Pansy Garden — very near the memorial to Thomas Jefferson and close to the foot of the 14th Street Bridge (whose formal name is the George Mason Memorial Bridge, but nobody calls it that).

In an era when Americans seem to be quickly losing touch with their own history, one of the greatest crimes of all is that the name of George Mason has faded into almost complete obscurity (if there weren't a university named after him in Virginia, how much worse would it be?).
Biographies of Mason, the author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (which inspired, among other things, the US Declaration of Independence and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen) are woefully few.
Mason was the moving force behind Virginia's Declaration of Rights, and, for that reason alone, is quite significant.
