Get off social media. Stop watching television. Stop listening to radio. You will be amazed how clear your mind becomes when you remove media that is designed to distract you. Read good news papers. Read the bills in congress. Watch the votes in congress. Call your representatives asking them why they vote for specific bills. Instruct your representative to write legislation that supports your interests. Dare to write legislation and offer it to your representatives. (I have not done this but I would like to.) Talk to your friends and family and show them what you have learned. Meet your representative, ask them about specific bills and their votes. Don’t listen to what they say. That’s not the point. The point is to let them answer for their actions. Watch what they do.
This is just a start. We have so much more to do. I am talking about a way of life that involves being embedded in civics.
