Accountable Citizens Power America

Welcome to our website dedicated to inspiring and developing accountable citizens. We're committed to providing quality information from experts in their fields and from personal experience. We'll also feature guest columns from time to time. Some of the authors you will recognize and others will be new.

Our focus is on encouraging responsible decision-making that will guide future generations to embrace a culture of accountability above personal gain.

We'll feature some writers and speakers who are experts in their respective fields. They may not be well known to all of our readers. You won't see them in Tik Tok videos. Some aren't alive anymore. But the knowledge of Og Mandino, John Maxwell, Stephen Covey, Mother Teresa, Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, Denis Waitley and others never goes out of date.

Whether teaching leadership skills or offering inspiring quotes, they have proven track records and our younger generation needs to have access to their wisdom.


What's New This Week?

We've added a first hand account of the 5 stages of grief as experienced through the eyes and emotions of one of our editorial team.

We're getting back into the work now and will continue in our mission to help provide quality information to empower the next generation of accountable citizens.  

Thank you for your patience as we work through the emotions of the past two weeks. 


Being Accountable Your Actions

All of our pages that focus on "why" being accountable is important are listed in this specific directory. You'll find some examples from history that inspire and some that warn of the consequences of failure to act in the manner of a responsible citizen. 

We've also placed the guest columns from T.O. Illustratio under this navigation button, located in the right margin of every page.  


Leadership and Self Development

We've added a new tier two page that includes all the posts related to the "how" of being an accountable citizen. We've set these pages up in specific paragraphs with headings to allow our readers to find all related subject matter in a more organized manner. You'll find series posts linked as well for easy flow. The title of this new page is Leadership and Self Development. It can be found in the navigation bar in the right margin of every page. 


Leadership Spotlight

Every week or so, we'll present a short video from someone on that previous list along with some others. Internet research suggests that on average, most people only spend about four minutes watching a video. 

Our website is dedicated to people who want to go above average to do great things, to learn new skills, and to make a positive difference. This longer video was featured on another page and is worthy of a second look. 


Our Mission Statement 

A mission statement should have two key components. It should be easy to remember and it should be a call to action. Our mission statement is below this paragraph. Those three lines also make up our key core values. Our thoughts and corresponding actions need to align with our core values.

Life Lessons. We Have The Experience Scars!

Our own editorial team will add some first person stories that we hope will inspire you and offer insight on how you can create positive change. We spent time thinking through the core values that would guide the content selection before we launched this website.  

Some of the content you read on these pages might be controversial. You might not agree with every paragraph or every statement. Part of being an accountable citizen is seeking a middle ground on as many issues as possible to find a place where we can work together to lift our nation to benefit every citizen.

We'll present some pages that sound much different than what you might have heard or read about some of these controversial subjects. We aren't asking you to blindly accept the words you read on this website. We will provide sound logic and factual content. It will be up to our readers to decide for themselves how they feel about what they read.


Accountable Citizens Learn The Lessons of History

Learning from history is vital. Repeating past mistakes only leads to future problems. While this is a non-political website, the state of politics in America must be addressed. It is having a negative effect on the development of accountable citizens. We can't grow as a nation if we abdicate our responsibility in this essential area.

It's essential that we include the younger generation in this discussion. This quagmire that is the current two-party system has dissolved into such a place that it has become a national embarrassment. It has become obvious that solving problems in our country is not a high priority among the vast majority of elected officials.  

Our nation began as a great experiment. There have been challenges and grievous errors along the way. Whenever humans are involved, both of those things occur. The key is how we correct those errors. In all things, beginning with truth is the first step. And too often, the most difficult. But establishing accountability as a core value requires us to always rely on being truthful.

As we follow that path of truth, it will become clear that a certain handout mentality has promoted the idea that accountability feels like an attack. This idea has been championed by an elite class that believes personal responsibility is a thing of the past and that holding ourselves accountable for our actions is an obsolete waste of effort.
