Government works for us — not the other way around. • Public power, on public terms. • Hired by the people. Accountable to the people. • We write the job; they do the work. • Authority starts with consent — and ends without it. • Remember: they work for you. Raise hell if they forget. • We’re not subjects; we’re supervisors. • Your tax dollars, your rules. • Every ballot is a job review. • We hired you — act like it. • The governed grant the power; the power serves the governed. • Public office is public service — to the public. • Democracy is a service job. • The people are the point. • Consent creates the mandate; accountability keeps it. • “The government is us; we are the government, you and I.” — Theodore Roosevelt • “Democracy is not a spectator sport.” — Lotte E. Scharfman • “The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” — Abraham Lincoln • “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” — Attributed to Wendell Phillips • “A vote is a kind of prayer about the world we want.” — Shane Claiborne
