INSTITUTE ON THE CONSTITUTION: Spokane

A voice not an echo
A cross not a crown
An enlightened electorate
A free man not a slave

Friends,
January 30th will be the day we start another class on the Constitution as law and the Constitutional Republic as the form of civil government our Founding Fathers established. We have called this class in the past, "Christianity and the Law of the Land," and "Christianity and 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 Students Manual. I will be your in house instructor 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." Thomas Jefferson
The class will be from 9 am to 12 pm on Saturday mornings and will meet at the Corbin Senior Activity Center at 827 W. Cleveland. Meeting dates are: 1/30, 2/13, 20, 27; 3/13, 20, 27. We are unable to use the facility on Saturday, 3/6 and I am out of town on 2/6 (Teaparty Convention in Nashville).
The cost is $70 and includes a Student Manual. Those who have taken the class before and would like a refresher are free ( a free will offering helps with expenses not met by the cost). Couples are $85 and 18 and under free. 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."
We are also considering another class during the week. 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. We also have a class "The Five Thousand Leap," we will be presenting in the Spring.
Please reply to me asap whether you will be attending. Remember in your consideration the words of Edmund Burke:
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

About John Eidsmoe
Dr. Eidsmoe holds degrees in law, theology, and political science and is licensed to practice law in several States. Currently, John works for the Alabama Supreme Court as a constitutional attorney and consultant. A practicing attorney, he has successfully argued constitutional issues before several state Supreme Courts. In addition to speaking at seminars around the U.S., Dr. Eidsmoe serves as Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and on the national Board of the Plymouth Rock Foundation. In 1973 and again in 1988, Professor Eidsmoe received the George Washington Honor Medal presented by the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge, PA. John is the author of twelve published books on historic constitutional and religious topics. Just for fun, John is a state champion karate master and rides horses every chance he gets.

About John Beal
John Beal resides in Spokane with his wife of 40 years, Margo. They have two daughters and four grandchildren. After working for 32 years as a design consultant and contractor specializing in exterior remodelling, John recently retired to serve the campaign of former Chief Justice Roy Moore in his quest for governor of the state of Alabama. You may recall Judge Moore as "the 10 commandments Judge" who lost his battle with the state over the question, "Can the state acknowledge God?"
John has years of active service in teaching the Bible, America's Christian history, the nature and source of law and government and working for Biblical justice in the Spokane community. From defending the unborn to teaching prisoners the meaning of freedom, responsibility and the role of husbands and fathers. From discipling converts of the Franklin Graham Crusade to advising running for public office, John's passion has been to see Jesus lifted up in the individual, the family, the church and state, thus contending for the crown rights of King Jesus.
In addition John has served as Regional Director for the Plymouth Rock Foundation, a national ministry and it's local expression, the Christian Committees of Correspondence, both an educational effort to affirm God's design for self and civil government.
John offers two courses to this end: Christianity and the Law of the Land, a 12 part video seminar taught by Dr. John Eidsmoe and God and Government: A Biblical and Historical Account. It was through these two studies that John's understanding of Christ's Lordship was profoundly enhanced, his appreciation for the Bible deeply enriched and his love for law and liberty realized.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - CAN YOU LEND A HAND?

ARTISTIC DSTRICT LEADS
We need one person for each district that would be willing to make a sign (preferably on 20"x30" foam board) with their legislative district number and the larger cities in that district printed on it. Should it be rainy, I would suggest wrapping the sign with saran wrap. We want our legislators to be able to find their constituents and make it easy to people to connect with others from their district! IF YOU ARE ATTENDING AND WILL MAKE AND CARRY A SIGN PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Districts we have volunteers for at this point: 3,4,6,7,8,21,25,26,32,35,37,40,43,45,46. As the districts are claimed they are updated on our website citizensforHJM4009.ning.com

LEGISLATIVE ACTION GUIDES
We need 6-8 LEGISLATIVE ACTION GUIDES who know the capitol campus well and that want to assist patriots in finding their legislators offices during the Sovereignty Winter Fest. Our intention is not to storm the capitol, but to file through in an orderly fashion. PLEASE help us out as we want to ensure that everyone that wants to drop off a letter or speak with their legislator can. LEGISLATIVE ACTION GUIDES will make a HUGE difference in the success of this event. IF YOU KNOW THE CAPITOL, OR ARE WILLING TO LEARN WE CAN USE YOUR HELP!

CLEAN UP TEAMS
If you are coming early and will be available to help us set up, or are staying and will help us clean up please let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
