Jury duty is the purist form of democracy in the US Constitution. We aren't alone in our opinion. To actually have a group of up to 12 peers decide important aspects of our lives? Important, impactful judgments NOT the purvey of a King, Emperor, or a Tribunal of Scribes? Yes sir, jury duty is a real jewel. In a society intending to uphold Freedom, Equality, and Fairness for all, who better to adjudicate any individual than a panel of your peers?Which is EXACTLY why the Citizen Statesmanship Team is pursuing an idea much like jury duty - that people vetted and chosen from randomly selected pools of everyday citizens will behave in the interests of themselves and other everyday citizens!Don't believe us? Check out the Farewell Address of our first President - George Washington! With incredible acuity and foresight, he exactly predicted that political parties would be the downfall of the democratic republic he and the other founders of our nation gave so much to create!We can, must, and shall do better!For generations, the worst among us have contrived to tear our social and political fabric apart, to benefit the few over the many. Their intent and mission have been diabolically simple: Divide and Conquer!!! And THEY have been wildly successful!We are ambassadors and facilitators for the solution to this madness: It’s called Citizen Statesmanship. The vast majority of people from all corners of the globe are just like you and me - extraordinary, so-called "ordinary" people. Join us in our quest to recreate our political landscape, eliminating the tribal warfare and hostilities incited for centuries by the label and blame mantra of our traditional leaders - the worst among us. Now is the time to end the atrocities of god-awful leadership, launching a final and lasting divorce from tyranny!All driven by everyday citizens! Driven by you and me…Take our hands. Walk with us to a far brighter tomorrow free of Hate, Fear, and Injustice!There is a saying in our country which I am sure is paralleled in many others… “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.”When it comes to truly fair, efficient and effective governance of, by, and for The People, Citizen Statesmanship is the water : cool, pure, refreshing and thirst-quenching…but when will you drink of it? We, you and I, know the answer to this question… Just how thirsty must you be??? Just how much warfare, pestilence, famine, poverty, misuse and abuse must you suffer, at the hands of the worst among us, before you’ve had enough?!? Before you are parched and ready to walk through fire to get to, and drink from, the eternal fount of Freedom, Equality, and Fairness that is Citizen Statesmanship!?!Citizen Statesmanship: Serving in government should be like jury duty!We extraordinary, “ordinary” citizens can, must and shall govern ourselves! We must be Citizen Statesmen!The Reverend King HAD A DREAM! Barak Obama inspired MANY to HOPE, HOPE, HOPE.THESE DAYS, many people are praying, hoping, hoping, hoping for a better tomorrow…One of our brothers once wisely said, “HOPE in one hand, POOP in the other. SEE which hand fills up FIRST?!?!”CITIZEN STATESMANSHIP IS NOT A DREAM! IT IS NOT A HOPE! IT IS THE SOLUTION!Citizen Statesmanship is the CURE FOR WHAT AILS US! It is the antibiotic for our infections. it is the perfectly targeted chemotherapy for our cancer. It is the wildly successful vaccinations that prevent polio and small pox!It is the miracle pill to cure what has ailed our human societies for centuries! We must take it!Dark days are coming! Very dark days are coming for you UNLESS we, you and I, act!It’s like we are all on a huge bus heading for a cliff with the worst among us behind the wheel! These people don't care if the bus goes off the cliff! They only care that they have the wheel! Let us grab the wheel! PLEASE, we beg you! Grab hold of the wheel and help turn the bus!
