| Citizenship is a skill
that can be learned and practiced |
| Public services exist
to fulfill public needs |
| Students enjoy access
to public resources, but they need to learn how to access them |
| Politics and public
life is complicated and we do not always get what we want |
| Government affects
everyone, everyday |
| One of the important
functions of government is to provide basic services to the community |
| Everyone has a right
(and responsibility) to hold public agencies accountable to the
community |
| Access to the government
is open to all, but it requires commitment and follow-up. Remember,
if you ignore your politician, it makes it easier for him or her
to ignore you |
