"The government is us; we are the government, you and I."

Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Washington; these men knew the principles of good government and instilled them in the constitution.

  • Colloquia on the following books:
    • The Dream Giver, Wilkinson
    • What is Seen, What is Not Seen, Bastiat (Reading will be sent to you upon registration)
