WHAT IS A GOOD CITIZEN?

An effective citizen is someone who takes time away from their

pursuit of happiness to do things that sustain our freedoms and
keep the country safe.
These things, call them citizen actions, are done on a day-to-day,
week-to-week basis; when the opportunities arise; and when action is
needed. Some are easy, some are fun and some require sacrifice.
A good citizen also:
believes the country is worth keeping strong,
understands the importance of citizen involvement in a democracy,
and
appreciates the impact of a single act and of millions of single acts.
How to be an effective citizen?
One is an effective citizen by doing things that:
Remind us of our heritage
Involve us in the democratic process
Support individuals with a special responsibility for keeping the
country strong
Help us better understand the workings of our government
Promote a sense of community
Keep individuals and families strong
