Why I joined the Citizen Watchdog Team:  Ever heard of saying, “Showing up is half the battle”?  I believe Citizen Watchdog recognizes and empowers this reality as it applies to the heart and start of American civilization: rugged local government.  Growing up in a large family of farmers, entrepreneurs and landowners, I was cognizant at an early age of the importance of showing up and actively exercising your First Amendment birthright.  Citizen Watchdog turns up the volume of America’s local voices, and gives them resources to improve their writing.  WatchdogWire.com is a channel for those who want to serve as watchdogs in their communities, by showing up and reporting on what’s happening in their town halls.  In order for “We the People” to be viewed as more than rhetoric, people need to show up and speak out.
