Citizen

Each person in this world represents a citizen of something. In this nation, an individual will be a citizen of a local town or city, a citizen of their county, a citizen of their state, and a citizen of the country, the United States of America. With citizenship comes a broad spectrum of rights and privileges, but it also comes with immense responsibility to value that citizenship and to protect it & what it means for future generations. The inspirational stories and soul-searching perspectives of citizenship, visionary leadership, governance, and individual liberty under the Paradigm of the Citizen hope to challenge the reader to recognize the responsibilities they share as citizens of our local, state, and national communities and the amazing but tenuous gift of freedom and self-governance they have inherited and have a duty to defend & protect for their posterity.
