Strengthening Democracy

Of the People, By the People, For the People

Civic Idealists are America's strongest champions of democracy--government, "of the people, by the people and for the people." They insist upon the active participation of citizens in the governmental decisions that affect our lives, as the best way to hold elected officials accountable to the people.
