Seminar 3: Attacks on the Charter of Freedom

The third Seminar is entitled the “Attacks on the Charter of Freedom.” In this seminar we will study the people, the organizations, and the groups who have been using their time, resources, and talents to change the direction of America in order to serve their own special interests. This has allowed emotionalism and private interests to become the standard of measurement in the enacting of most recent laws.

The information in this seminar is not designed to spread despair or fear about the future of America, but will be an eye-opener to let us see how far our country has been allowed to go towards the destructive paths of Socialism.

Modern society will never be able to heal America without knowing what is causing it to be sick in the first place. It is interesting to note that the Constitution is seldom quoted or used anymore as a standard by which to measure proposed legislation. This has come about because, as Americans, too many have ceased to study the Founding Fathers’ formula for success.

Seminar topics listed below.
