Speaker Panel: Constitution Day: "Empowering the Individual Citizen"
As citizens of this great nation, we are privileged with the opportunity to have certain civil liberties and freedoms not allowed in other countries. Many events are centered on learning about different issues and bringing awareness to those issues, but how can you get involved? What can one citizen really do to have an impact in his or her community? What legal channels, organizations, and resources are available for one person to make a difference? Dr. Rhonda Wrzenski, Dr.Thomas Kotulak, Judge Daniel Moore, a state representative from the Indiana CLU, will be discussing these and other important questions.
