“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Webcast Schedule
10 - 10:15 a.m. (EDT) "Choosing Liberty": Welcome and Introduction
The Honorable Mike Pence
U.S. Representative, Sixth District of Indiana

Today citizens must choose whether they will live as citizens, or subjects.
10:15 - 11: 15 a.m. (EDT) "How Our Economic Liberty Has Been Diminished"
Dr. Paul Moreno
Grewcock Chair in Constitutional History, Hillsdale College

Economic liberty was revered by the Founding Fathers, who enshrined its principles in the Constitution. A hundred years ago, those tenets were attacked by the Progressives, who saw property rights as the protection of special interests, and our Constitution's structure as an impediment to progress as they defined it.

11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (EDT) "How Our Economic Liberty Can Be Restored"
Dr. Larry P. Arnn, President, Hillsdale College

Economic liberty can be restored as decisively as it has been lost, but a restoration of constitutional principles cannot happen without citizen understanding and vigilant defense of the principles of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
