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 not assessed by personal affinity. It's 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 - do 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 through their 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!

 

That is why after every message we offer two calls to action:

 1. Will you participate in your community and join ROCC to network with
the best rural organizers, learn from the activists moving the
needle in their communities, and let us help you implement projects
in your own neighborhood?
 2. [ [link removed] ]Will you chip in a small donation, if that is a more effective
means for you, to support our organizers doing this great work?

Either option is a great means to take up the mantle of personal
accountability in improving our great democracy!
