You can govern yourself. You can govern with others. You can learn about political planks and political platforms, how to do governance, and about political organization. It's about active citizenship, civics, a more perfect union, and we the people. It's about participation. So, the focus of these many posts is on democracy, justice, citizenship, governance, co-operation, and democracy.

Why do you think that American citizens have abdicated their citizenship?
What do you believe is the nature of our citizenship?
How are the rights and responsibilities of citizenship carried out in a republic?
How did you learn of your rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
Who is responsible for the actions of your representatives?
Why have so many have so valued republicanism and democracy so highly?
How have you learned the nature of your governance? Did you learn from your parents? Did you learn from your school? What have you done in the company of other citizens to learn to govern yourselves. Why did others before you choose democracy and republicanism to govern themselves? How did they work their citizenship?

President Trump is doing much good, important work! However, the why he is doing it may do much damage to this Republic. That is not his fault. It is our fault: the fault of US citizenry. In this Republic we decided to use representatives. We have not been using them. We turned them loose without our support, guidance, control, or anything! Without our active support our representatives lose their power and we lose and we without their service lose our republic. Without our republic we can become powns, slaves, useless, or... Together actively nominating, electing, supporting, and using our representatives well we stand. Without working our republic can we even be we.
We are very important. We benefit by thinking more about us and talking more about us and how to support one another and our representatives. Doing so makes us effective citizens and the better part of Our Republic.
