The lack of citizen involvement is a quiet epidemic and a threat to our future.
Americans need a broader view of citizenship – it goes well beyond voting, jury duty, and community service.
Effective citizens do simple, yet impactful things – citizen actions – on a daily basis that keep the country free.
“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” – President Kennedy
