More Civic Engagement

Civic Engagement is free or cheap. It is not expensive. Any social class can do this. We all need to be doing this. It is past the time for laziness and faith without works. This is our nation, and we need to take it back.

Here in Ellis County, it is free to become a volunteer voter registrar. It is super easy to register voters. You have voters fill out the form completely and give the completed forms back to the registrar in person. It is that simple. You do not need to purchase forms, the forms are provided to you. You do not need to purchase anything, the registrar’s office has the materials. You can do this while block walking. you can do this while shopping. You can do this while your children play in the parks. You can do this while at events around the community. Get it done.

It is extremely cheap to rent a pavilion at a park; at the time of writing it is under $100 for a full day here. I am sure the prices vary by location, but public facilities are generally very low cost. Schedule a day to go out, hang some signs, and register voters. Take some campaign materials of your supported candidates with you. Hell, if you don’t want to spend the money, wait for some other event to happen and register voters there. Get it done.

We need more callers, letter writers, and brief writers. The swamp creatures who serve in Austin and in DC only value their own time. They value nothing else. The Judges who populate our courts are similarly situated. We need to be calling these elected officials and writing to them. We need to be filing briefs in the cases that affect our rights. If you do not know how to write effective letters or briefs, I will help you. This is the most important work we can do. The voice of We, the People, is absent from our justice system, Austin, and DC; this needs to change. Get it done.

This is our nation. We need to start acting like it. There is work to do, and we will complete that work.
