Our nation’s founding documents state clearly that the people, endowed with fundamental, inalienable rights, are the masters of government, which derives its just power from the consent of the governed.
But, can consent be given without knowledge of what is consented to?
Citizens are in an uphill battle against the inertia of decades of apathy. Adding urgency to the battle is the dramatic growth of government influence, power and complexity both nationally and locally.
Unfortunately traditional media, reeling from its own financial troubles, is retreating from investigative journalism of years past. Traditional media is also slow to engage the growing ranks of citizen and alternative media watchdogs.
