Tactical Civics and the Founders Vision for Local Governance
https://danhappel.com/tactical-civics-montana/
It's now or never to return limited, constitutional, self government for "We The People" before the powers that be continue the "fundamental transformation" of America...
1. Tactical Civics Overview
Seeks to re-establish local citizen oversight over government functions
Focus on accountability through reactivation of county grand juries and county militias
Rooted in constitutional authority and original intent of America’s founding documents
2. Four-Step Plan to Restore Constitutional Governance
Step 1: Build county chapters across all 3,165 counties
Step 2: Establish citizen grand juries and county militias by ordinance
Step 3: Ratify a pending constitutional amendment to limit congressional districts to 50,000 people (over 6,000 districts)
Step 4: Enact the "Bring Congress Home Act" to localize congressional work and eliminate D.C. perks
3. Grand Juries & Militias
Grand juries investigate local government misconduct without interference
County militias serve as the enforcement arm of grand juries (e.g., serving subpoenas, making arrests)
Emphasized as lawful, community-based, and historically grounded
4. Founding Principles Revisited
Strong emphasis on unalienable rights, self-governance, and the Constitution as a “rule book”
Citizens should view government employees as their subordinates
Responsibility must accompany freedom
5. Critique of Modern Governance
Government overreach, centralization, and dependence highlighted as root problems
Criticism of civil asset forfeiture, D.C. lobbying, federal bureaucracy, and the Patriot Act
Example: Red flag laws seen as unconstitutional in states like Pennsylvania
6. Call to Action
Citizens must stop outsourcing responsibility and re-engage in their civic duties
Tactical Civics provides a clear, actionable roadmap for restoring the Republic
People urged to visit tacticalcivics.com and join local chapters
Notable Quotes
“We hired folks to do our government—but we never inspect their work.”
“If you don’t do it, who will?”
“You’re not teaching your kids this stuff? That’s on you.”
