This DVD / CD lecture series applies Jefferson's wisdom to the study of the United States history and the sound principles of proper government which were brought forth as this nation was established.  The words of the Founders are carefully reviewed, and the student is given the opportunity to not only understand the priceless principles of liberty, but to also know how to apply those timeless truths today so the blessings of liberty may be preserved for themselves and their posterity. 

Anticipated release date is October 2008.  After many setbacks, this series is nearly done!
