WANTED: Students: The Duty of the Jury
This course provides the correct understanding of the duty of the jury which is to judge the law and the facts in order to defend our Constitutional Republic. Many Americans have been taught that the jury serves a radically different purpose and this erroneous view is actually destructive to the very justice for which the role of the jury was established.

Sheriff and Citizen Summit on April 6, 2013 a Great Success. Thank you!
The Sheriff and Citizen Summit which was held on April 6, 2013 in Sussex County, Delaware was a great success. On behalf of the Institute on the Constitution, I want to extend a heart-felt thank you for your attendance and for your commitment to the IOTC which made this event so successful.
It was our desire to create and educate a body of citizens to understand The American View of Law and Government and its relationship to the U.S. Constitution in order that they are able, ready and willing to support the constitutional role of the sheriff. As we continue to expand our course offerings, please know that you and your individual efforts to support the the American View are vital to the success of the IOTC. We are so encouraged by the many people who registered for the Constitutional Training for Deputies, Posses, and Citizen Supporters of the Sheriff course in Delaware.
Thank you for the generous contributions for Sheriff Jeff Christopher and his legal fund. You and your support are truly appreciated.
The IOTC could not do what it does without the generous support of a God-fearing community of individuals. Thank you again for attending and supporting The Sheriff and Citizen Summit. We pray that you will continue in your studies and lead others to the significance of acknowledging God and His role in our civil government at all levels.
In Christ,
Michael Anthony Peroutka

March First Friday: Staying on Target: Guns, God’s Word and the Constitution
Pastor Whitney examines the Theological foundations for the right to keep and bear arms, and provides a constitutional understanding of the right to self defense. The 2nd Amendment, restrains the powers of state governments by placing specific requirements upon it. Provisions in Maryland’s Constitution on the State Militia provide ironclad evidence of not only the citizen’s right to keep and bear arms, but his duty to do so.
