“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

But that's THEIR job.....

Do you ever wonder just who’s in charge here?
Do you ever wish you could do something, but don’t know where to start?

~ WE INVITE YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY WORKSHOP ~
When: Saturday October 8th and Saturday October 15th at 3pm
Where: Milton-Freewater Community Building

“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” Thomas Jefferson

What will you learn?
  • The U.S. Constitution – What’s in it and why? Who were the founders and why is it still important today?
  • Why are we a Constitutional Republic? What does that even mean?
  • How can I become involved in my party of choice? Precinct politics – the smallest level of government.
  • Robert’s Rules of Order – make the most of your meetings and get the most done.
  • Who runs this town? The who, what, when, where, and why of city government.
In the United States we enjoy the freedom offered by a constitutional republic. This means we are all meant to be involved in the process – no matter your social status, education level, or political philosophy. We invite you to come learn about the U.S. Constitution and about government at the smallest and most important level: YOUR VERY OWN CITY.
