Have you thanked a veteran today?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Lest we, the American people, exercise our duty to hire representatives in government, men, and women, who will exercise our power in our name. The only reason we can do that is because veterans have for years sacrificed to defend the Constitution of the United States.

Laws do not stop evil
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – “There ought to be a law!” We’ve all heard that, and there are thousands of laws on the books.

While we tend to think of intelligence as something done at the national level, We the People collect and use intelligence every day. What can we learn about candidates and elected officials?
