John, our government functions best when we apply a little principle called accountability.

But it's way too easy to point the finger at somebody else, what we need to do is turn that hand around the point the finger squarely at ourselves. Am I doing enough?
Perhaps this is the distinction that marks a true activist? When we see something we disagree with, complaining has little use. Instead, we should probably recognize that our grievances are best manifested as an internal call to action. What can I do to fix this?
Performance is assessed by objective results. For our government to function to its potential we need to break past rhetoric and perception to identify the reality of what our elected officials are doing in office.
Right now, can we say that we know what's being decided in our municipality, our school board, our county, or our state legislature? Do we understand the bills being proposed in Washington?
The mission of ROCC is to empower those who are advocating for the public good, not just through words, but as demonstrated through their actions. And to make everyone's experience of getting involved in local government as easy, effective, and enjoyable as possible. Because working to make our society better should be an enjoyable process!
