Who holds the power in a democracy?
We the People™.
Effective governance starts with engaged, informed citizens who back leaders committed to integrity.
Rules and systems are essential, but aren’t sufficient to sustain a thriving democracy.
If We the People™ stop acting with honesty and good faith, don’t expect good things to happen.
Proactive communication and involvement help create an operating environment where citizens choose leaders who reflect their values and value truth.
No law or regulation can replace the foundational need for good character in We the People™.
That is the value of participatory leadership.
Power with, not over.
Lasting progress depends on responsible choices by everyone in the system.
