Commit
Know yourself and your own belief system.
Decide what is right and wrong, a moral code of your own.
This goes beyond what rules you will live by. You must be firm in your foundation of principles. Be ready to be challenged on those principles and stand to defend them.
I am not using hyperbole when I say you must know your place in the universe and the reason you are here. If you do not then you should be on your way to discovering it.
If you need help in this area, may I suggest you begin with the same Judeo-Christian values that founded this country.
Decide for yourself if you really want to restore America
Accept your responsibilities
Recognize that you have responsibilities that come with self governance and vow to do what you can to meet those responsibilities.
This is not a game
This is not about rooting for a team or political party.
No strategy or politics justify compromise on principles.
You are an individual “The buck stops with YOU”
You may be part of a group but your principles must be your own.
You are lending your credibility to the group. Demand they live up to it.
Being part of a group does not absolve the individual of any responsibilities.

Live it
Be the one you seek
Be the kind of person you are looking for.
That is when you find yourself describing your perfect representative or saying “I wish we could find someone who…” compare yourself to that ideal and live up to it.
Clean out your life of all the bad stuff that you know needs to go.
Do what you ask of others before you even ask it.
That especially goes for what you ask of your government.
If it can be done by government, it can be done better in the private sector.
Create
Solve the problems and fill the needs that you find.
Use the creative power inherent in all of us to make your world.
