The responsibility of citizens
We are citizens and responsible for our governments – national, state, and local. As citizens, we face an important problem: a president who does not execute the laws passed by Congress, a Congress that does not pass laws and budgets to address issues citizens want addressed, and a Supreme Court that does not hold the president and Congress to constitutional standards.
We citizens are responsible for the process of self-government.
The remedy for this problem is not political parties, not nonprofit organizations. The remedy is working together in small groups to engage in self-government by assuring our elected representatives are held accountable.
