Do you know the name of the mayor?

How about the governor?

Name a president that doesn’t appear on a bill?

Ok that was easy…

Name one person on your city council

My guess is that you probably don’t care but may I ask why?

Sorry that was rhetorical.

Its somewhat disheartening that we all know are rights, but couldn't care less about our civic duties don’t you think?

America Land of the free Home of the brave

Or should it be land of the empowered and by choice the worlds largest unrepresented democracy.

Our nation is founded on the principle of federalism.

Powered by the people for the people.

Federalism is something mentioned by John Locke check this out…

So Locke mentions the idea of a social contract between the government and the governed.

Such a contract can only exist without one single entity of government having more power than the other... No King, No King, La-la-la Makes sense huh

Montesquieu adds his influence on our government which solidifies this into what we all know as the Separation of Powers

That’s just the beginning let me get back to you and why your government needs you.

But in order to maintain this “social contract” the promise better be good.

Well its established on Truth Well its established on Truth. You know the one thing you think our government lacks.

Oh and a principle of the constitution Its what we call a Core Democratic Value. Before you dismiss this because all politicians are “so-called liars” Oh and a principle of the constitution

Who are you to judge? Your government provides for you but you care only for your civic rights with disregard to your own civic rights.

Civic rights? Civic duties? Civic responsibilities?

Google Em, I Dare Ya What are they, 1. Right to Life: 2. Right to Liberty: 3. Right to Family: 4. Freedom of Conscience: 5. Freedom of Speech: 6. Freedom of Association: 7. Freedom of Press: 8. Equality before Law: 9. Right of Education: Google Em, I Dare Ya

Why Change?

Well how about another rhetorical question…

What is the difference between democracy without participation and a fully participating monarchy?
