"Choosing Liberty": Welcome and Introduction
The Honorable Mike Pence
U.S. Representative, Sixth District of Indiana

Today, U.S. 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 highly 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.

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