CIVICS is the study of CITIZEN RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES!!!
It is basically remarkably simple; or so it seems to me.
Citizens are human beings who are included within the rules that govern Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the United States, whether born here or migrated and became included under rules that dealt with an understanding of immigrations and the rights of refugees under our longer standing welcome to folks seeking more for the generations to follow, and who are willing and pleased to work for the improved future status of descendants.
Dialogue, conversations, debate, and certainly discussions between legislators as to the status of people caught up in the effort to deal with Federal overreach is well overdue. Why is that? Where is the proof that we are under attack externally or within the 50 states to need a “para military force” on City streets, creating conditions akin to “terror” for people based not on factual evidence, with failures of prompt accountability for each incident that appears on the internet, and with no overall purpose or data-based goal for their effort?
CIVICS conversations could look to the Bill of Rights language, to the norms and processes we have come to expect and maintain or challenge, as the case may require, and to each citizen for their vote, as a “right” not a wrong or something to ignore. When we come to a streetlight that is red, do we obey it or challenge it, with an assumption that it does not apply to us who are sharing the road with others? When we come to a voting opportunity, do we, who consider ourselves “good citizens,” vote, which when added to other votes informs our neighbors and establishes a reality until the following election. If we are to vote, do we not become informed as to the people and/or questions on the ballot? When 90% fail to cast a ballot, is it a question for our local legislature to consider or a Mayor to denounce?
Where is the voice of the majority in Bridgeport, whether registered as Democrats, Green, Worker Family, Republican, other or Unaffiliated, the second largest group of registered voters in the City. Do they wish to have stronger Ethics in City governance? Do they look forward to simpler and clarified rules for Civil Service system in the City? Do they look for more opportunities to sit and participate with Boards and Commissions who will be tasked to report annually on their work to and for all of the public? Did the public not have enough opportunities between February 28, 2025, and June 16th to attend hearings, address written notes to the Charter Commission, or speak up about the issues they feel are not represented? Or is it merely “status quo political action” that caused the Charter document to be divided by the City Council at the last moment before submission to the State for the ballot inclusion to divide out two part-time Clerks (City and Town) who are paid but not present in a representative matter for the public in their offices or at the many hearings and former County Sheriffs whose only ‘official’ status is the mention in the Charter and at election time, but no supervision of their duties and obligations unless matter enter the court system? How do taxpayers feel when City funds are used to defend these activities? Should sheriffs transition to the State system of entry, regulation, and supervision? Time will tell.
John, put that in a commentary, I’ll hook you up with teh 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Let’s break this down, John. Perhaps what civics means to you is the study of Citizen Rights and Responsibilities. But when you speak of something SIMPLE. You think it was something easily attained without barriers, nature or manmade.
Sure, citizens are human beings who are included within the rules of governance, in America, but as you studied Civics in the lens of history and the world, those CITIZEN RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES!!! Very among human beings throughout the world, in time and location, and depending on the form of governance, particularly those who are currently seeking to immigrate here. Although, immigrants and refugees shouldn’t follow the rule of law, for better or worse. No?
I do believe a point needs to be made regarding your statement on future status of descendants of immigrants and citizens are human beings who are included within the rules that govern Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the United States, whether born here or migrated”
It comes off as disingenuous, racially, being that many Black Americans born didn’t derive from free will immigration in search of a better life from them and their descendants.
The history of blacks born in America who are descendants of humming beings and did not migrate to America of their own free will, but by their ancestors who were brought here as slave labor and viewed as less of a human being, chattel, possession, personal property was written rules of governance reigned King.
Among some other “scriptures” writings
Though I am pleased to see the hard work and sacrifice that contributed to the improved future status and dignity of such descendants who are now born Americans, who choose to stay in America, that originate from their ancestors, in a world that practiced human slavery, dominance and oppression.
While we can’t say, debate what it means to MAGA. I hope we are better at food preparation, serving. 🤣
