The "IOTC" is an educational effort on the part of the Law Office of Peroutka and Peroutka of Pasadena, Maryland. The program is intended to reconnect Americans to the history of the American Republic and to their heritage of freedom under law.

By exploring the fundamental principles of civil government upon which our Constitutional Republic was founded, and by studying the original intent of the founders, we can begin to recover the lost freedoms that require knowledge and vigilance to protect and defend. Today, many Americans are surprised but delighted to learn that we were founded as a Constitutional Republic of Sovereign States with a central government of purposely limited powers based on Biblical principles. The recovery and application of these principles is necessary for the reclamation of the Republic.

IOTC begins with a basic course of study consisting of 12 video lectures featuring Dr. John Eidsmoe, professor of Constitutional Law at the Thomas Goode Jones School of Law at Faulkner University, along with other selected materials by speakers such as David Barton of Wallbuilders, Inc. This course of study is designed in a "turn-key" fashion, enabling those with little background and training to be effective hosts of the program, thus benefiting their communities and their country by passing on the Blessings of Liberty.

If you're too busy to commit to the 12 week "IOTC" basic course, you can take the course at your leisure in the comfort of your own home and watch the same videos and take the same tests on your home computer for the same price as the student notebook. Log onto www.IOTConline.com to sign up to take the course. If you wish to host the course after completing the online course, call the "IOTC" offices for a $30 discount towards the purchase of your own host kit – 410-760-9068.
