Civic and Politics
Greetings all!
A lot has happened since I last updated this blog. Weather disasters, mass shootings, out-of-control fires in California, and now the past and some ongoing elections have indeed changed the lives of many and the course of history as we once knew it.
I am hoping all of you are supporting the good efforts of stabilizing our country and I appreciate your efforts.
Now we see why civics is important to know and to exercise your rights in our democracy.
It is a shame that a President is running his campaigns on those that have controversial views of what he thinks democracy is about.
Truly, it is not all about money when people are suffering and are at risk of losing or not affording their health benefits, losing their home through gentrification, and other life-changing
governmental moves that marginalize working and poor people in our country.
There is a lot of work to do more now than ever before.
You can push for Civics to return to schools and to include your children in the election process so that they can learn early that they are a part of the voting process. Also to get them involved in volunteering in the local elections when the opportunity arises.(handing out brochures, flyers, and having political discussions in the family and among their peers.) The children are the future. Civics not being included in all schools curricula is a form of not educating our children on what is the most important process we have called, Democracy. Democracy is where your rights and freedoms are protected. Democracy is what allows you to be a free person to express and live your life in all its fullness.
Each and every one of us can be a part of the political system by voting for who we think are the best people to do the job to support our country to run smoothly, fairly and with integrity for all the people.
Voting is not only your right but your civic duty. Yes, your vote counts!
You can go online and read on the many websites, the Constitution. You can also buy a copy of the constitution for very little money-Between $4.00 or $5.00 dollars.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
