2. All American Citizen Team • The Big Question: • What if Americans knew as much about citizenship as we do about football? • Ben Franklin’s Challenge: • “…a Republic, madam, if you can keep it.” Talking about Democracy in a Republic is like playing football with basketball rules.

3. History 1215 . 1776 1972 1996 1517 1787 1980 2008 1780 OUR REPUBLIC WALK B.C. A.D. Republic Teamwork Principles Defined Code of Hammurabi Magna Carta Liberatum of English Subjects Declaration of 56 Delegates Resolution of 56 Senators & 180 Representatives Resolution 529 of Georgia Senate Theses of Martin Luther Constitution of 39 Founders Treaty of 14 Officials • In 1787, the Founders of the American Republic ratified the U.S. Constitution. • The Constitution embodied 4,000 years of thinking on human relational understanding. • The All American Citizen Team is a project of Our Republic Walk, an exercise in active citizen engagement based on the principles developed over this history

4. Meaning Why Now • The preamble to every State Constitution and to the U.S. Constitution call all citizens to exercise REPUBLIC teamwork principles • Cultural Climate • Technological Capability • Near Universal Access

5. The Need • In 1972, the Georgia General Assembly enacted the Stop Drugs at the Source Resolution • The Stop Drugs at the Source Petition Campaign was a nationwide movement to protect children from the impact of illicit drugs • The campaign secured over 3 million signatures and government officials signed the Stop Drugs at the Source Treaty The Problem The Solution Our Republic Walk A family-to-family, community-to-community, national exercise in self-government • The campaign addressed a peripheral issue in society • The fundamental issue is a lack of CIVIC LITERACY • All citizen actions to date have operated with the same flaw • The 1st Amendment grants citizens the right to express, assemble and petition but this is NOT self-governance To be ignorant and free was and never will be Thomas Jefferson --------------- We shall require a new way of thinking if mankind is to survive. Albert Einstein

6. The System Shift The Seven Community Pillars • To move from problem to solution requires a system shift • In order to function in the most healthy way possible as a person, society or organization and fulfill the original intent of our founding documents, as a nation we must move from a COMPETITIVE mindset to a COLLABORATIVE one.

7. The System Shift Current System Founders’ Intended System Our Republic Walk Our Democracy Race • We believe our system is a Democracy • Competitive • Race – very little thought/reactive • Matter – motivated by materialism • Founders’ established a Constitutional Republic • Collaborative • Walk – measured/responsive • Mind – motivated by proper intention

8. The System Shift The shift is achieved when each pillar resolves to engage and work as a team Subject-minded Citizens Sovereign Citizens Passive Members of Society Active Members of Society Ignorant Gamblers in Business Intelligent Investors in Business Our Republic Walk Characteristics Neutral Contributors to an Organization Gracious Patrons of a Mission Our Democracy Race Characteristics Disconnected Employees Engaged Employees Conspicuous Consumers Content Producers Field of Study Actors Field of Study Mentors

11. Activating a Movement • The Question: How do we ENGAGE and MOVE from • a competitive “matter”-based society • To a collaborative Republic Team “mind”-based society? • The Answer: We activate a movement by • Using the language and rules of Teamwork • Communicating with the right words and with reconciled numbers

12. Tools for Communication Correct words with correct definitions A plan that invites teams from all community sectors A map that tracks reconciled, escalating numbers Numbers = Momentum = Commercial Viability How do we ignite and drive this movement? The Children

13. Fueling a Movement! • Why Children? • Children are able to learn a new system FASTER • Children are apolitical • Children are most able to be drivers because the only fuel they need is RECOGNITION • How do we provide the Fuel? • Media = Fuel Pump + Recognition = Fuel

14. Promotion Phase ServiceOrganiz. LawEnforcement Education Business Government Religion Media Initiated by Engaging the 7 Community Pillars Each community has 7 pillars that must be engaged for the purpose of empowering a united (interconnected) sovereign people for self-government. All other pillars are engaged to supplement the EDUCATION sector where students are driving the process and MEDIA is fueling the process. Student Recognition Process…

15. Promotion Phase • Media Recognition for K-12 Students • Individual educators design curricula or incorporate existing curricula • Course/project syllabus includes the student working with the family to design an All American Citizen Team webpage (can use free services like MySpace, Facebook, etc.) for the purpose of • Virtual show & tell projects • Upload weekly video/audio journals • Describe what it’s like to engage in self-governance • Each student’s family page will be linked to the school’s page and vice versa • The Goal for Students • The school projects help students and their families discover the story of how their cities were founded and how their communities developed as part of the city story • These projects provide the foundation for the annual city and county birthday celebrations

16. Promotion Phase • Teacher curricula design raises questions about how we are defining civic literacy • The point is that we ARE ENGAGING the process of definition through a renewed interest in what it means to be civic literate "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people." -- John Adams “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” “I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.” – Thomas Jefferson
