“A Gathering on the Constitution,” a chance to learn the Founding Fathers’ intent for the framework of government, will be Saturday in Mentone, Ala. The all-day event is presented by the Four Patriots.
Scheduled to speak are:
- Dr. Timothy Johnson, professor of history, Lipscomb University, Nashville, and author of “Liberty vs. Power: The Founding Fathers’ Vision for America.”
“He will provide insight into the beliefs and philosophy of our founders when they wrote the Constitution and the type of government they intended for us,” said Four Patriots member Joe Piscatali.
Richard Gruetter, constitutional scholar and founder of “Preserve Our Constitution.” He will conduct a training session on the intent of selected Constitution clauses.
John Eidsmoe, colonel for the Alabama State Defense Force, legal counsel for the Foundation for Moral Law, Montgomery, Ala., and author of the book “Christianity and the Constitution.” His presentation, “The Moral Foundation of the Constitution,” will explore the belief that “law is ultimately based on moral principles, and moral principles are rooted in religion.”
