Upcoming Institute on the Constitution courses

In the next few weeks I will be giving classes in Prosser and the Tri-Cities on the Constitution as law and the Constitutional Republic as the form of civil government our Founding Fathers established. It is called the Institute on the Constitution. It consists of twelve 30-minute lectures on DVD by John Eidsmoe. There will be ample time for questions, discussion and tests (and maybe a few good disagreements) we have compiled from past classes and provided in a Student Manual. I will be your course facilitator and general encourager as we banish ignorance from ruling over us and recover the truth that sets us free.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free it expects something that cannot be."

We will meet in the Kennewick Library large conference room beginning on Friday, October 8th, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. This will be a six-week course, which will necessitate two 30-minute lectures each week.

Kennewick Schedule: All classes are at Kennewick branch, Mid-Columbia Library. Some dates are listed as tentative only because the Kennewick library will not schedule more than two weeks in advance. however, they assure me that it is very likely that this schedule will hold.

In late October, an Advanced Institute on the Constitution will be offered for those who have already completed the original course and are interested in deepening their knowledge of the development of ideas and principles used by the Founding Fathers in crafting this astounding document. Another session of the advanced course will be offered in early 2011.

We have had an increased number of requests from the many now beginning to realize We the People need to understand the rules for living in a civil society.

The course is free. Student manuals are optional and cost $35, which is what it costs me for duplication. Having said this, no one will be denied due to lack of funds. Provision will be made. George Washington has expressed our sentiment precisely:

"Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light."

Please contact me ASAP if you will be attending, and at which location. Remember in your consideration the words of Edmund Burke:

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

I am also open to conducting this course at a free venue near you…be it at a church, or in a private home group setting. Please let me know if you would like to discuss these alternatives.
