What does it take to keep a constitutional republic strong for the next generation? In this episode, we discuss Michael Compton, author of Keeping the Republic: A Citizen’s Guide for the Next 250 Years. Drawing from his grassroots work with Act for Missouri, Compton explores the idea that preserving America’s constitutional republic requires more than elections and political leaders—it requires citizens who understand and practice self-government. The book examines constitutional structure, federalism, God-given rights, civic virtue, and the responsibilities citizens have between elections. It also provides practical guidance for becoming more engaged in government, including how to: • Evaluate legislat...

The fight against Flock cameras isn’t over.

Clean Missouri passed in 2018, not that you could tell.  The people were told that corporate and outside interests were taking advantage of the situation and the worst of the worst were being elected.  Well, now the money is all flowing to PACs and lobbyists, and they're buying votes in the House and Senate.  The Republican party is addicted to this money to keep its majority.  Clearly, the interest of the people isn't being discussed.
