Who Appreciates Their Citizenship the Most?
Welcome back to Common Sense Civics and Citizenship. If you are a subscriber to our weekly newsletter, you will find two new articles that pertain to our citizenship. We discuss how lobbyists are now writing our laws because Congress is more focused on image than law writing. (!) Additionally, the quality of legislative assistants’ work […]
Lobbyist-a Changing Role
Thank you for returning to Common Sense Civics and Citizenship. I hope you and your loved ones enjoyed a beautiful day of thanks and celebration. I was with family out of state, so there is only one article this week and it is an eye-opener. For all of you who thought “lobbyist” is a dirty […]
The Duty of “Civic Duty”
Thank you for returning to Common Sense Civics and Citizenship. Courts and the justice system are in the spotlight big-time this week. Maybe you watched wall-to-wall coverage of the Rittenhouse trial… or maybe not. One thing for sure, we are all reminded of our civic duty, which isn’t really taught much these days. We cover […]
Justice, Freedom, Lawlessness, Immorality
If it wishes to remain free, what country allows its citizens to burn, loot, and commit absolute mayhem if the jury’s verdict in a case doesn’t agree with their demands? That’s not a peaceful protest. It’s criminal. It’s not presenting grievances to the government. Instead, it’s a show of force from the streets that in […]

If you were wondering what is happening in America, these commemorative events tell us. They […]

First, a heartfelt thank-you and congratulations to our United States Marine Corps as they celebrate 246 years of service to our country. We are deeply grateful to our Marines […]
Mandates and More
Welcome back to Common Sense Civics and Citizenship. Last week, it was an amazing week in America. We talk about two of the main topics-America’s response on election day and the national mandates in this newsletter. Let’s begin with mandates. I have received positive feedback for explaining this from an educational point of view in […]
We’ve Only Just Begun
In my last Common Sense Civics and Citizenship article, I ended by saying, “We’ll fix what is wrong. We will start by taking back our children, schools, and our supply chains.” On November 2, 2021, we took back our children, our schools, police departments, and more. Next up are the supply chains. Hopefully, the fuel […]
When Government Blames You, the Citizen
Thank you for returning to Common Sense Civics and Citizenship’s weekly newsletter, where we have been discussing freedom -or lack thereof, this week, and what we can do about it. Our first article addresses some blame and shame being tossed around at American citizens. Americans don’t take lightly to government’s accusations that they are to […]
