REGARDING ALL THE ABOVE, IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY AFFIRMED THAT “EDUCATION” ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES, POWERS AND DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP, INCLUDING AN ALERT AND WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SELF-GOVERNANCE AS ARTICULATED IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITES STATES OF AMERICA, IS THE “SOLUTION” TO MANY IF NOT ALL OF THE EGREGIOUS INJUSTICES WHICH HAVE BEEN INSTITUTED AS “LAW” BUT WHICH ARE IN FACT CONTRARY TO THE CONDUCT PRESCRIBED BY THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF. IN LIGHT OF THIS ACCORD, THE FOLLOWING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE ENDORSED AS APPROPRIATE FOR OLA PARTICIPATION AND SUPPORT:
