Civic Illiteracy and the Duty of Engagement

🗣️ “Chairman Bob” Statement – On Civic Illiteracy and the Duty of Engagement

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.Now you know why our children aren’t taught the blessings of living in a Republic.

The hard truth? Our schools teach compliance, not Constitution. We’ve raised a generation to fear hard conversations instead of embracing them.

Marcus Garvey said it best:

“Remove yourself from ignorance and seek intelligence.”

And Plato warned us plainly:

“If you do not take interest in government, you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.”

Well, my friend, we’re living that warning today. I’ll go one step further:

“The first branch of government should be the people. We are where we are because we failed our obligations.”– Chairman Bob Sutton

When traitors whisper in the halls of power, as Cicero described, silence is surrender. That’s why I believe—deep in my bones—that civic knowledge isn’t optional. It’s armor.

Here’s the deal:Politics can feel overwhelming. But I’d love to talk about it with you.

We were taught to avoid discussing politics, religion, and money. And what did that create? A vacuum of ignorance in all three.

We need to flip the script. Teach our kids to talk about these things—civilly, thoughtfully, boldly. The wealthy do it. So should we.

📢 Let’s Lead With Truth

• Encourage open civic dialogue—at the dinner table, in the classroom, on the campaign trail.

• Demand financial literacy, Constitutional understanding, and moral courage in our schools.

• Take back the conversation from the whisperers in the gate.

This is our moment. Listen. Believe. Measure. Then take action.

Thank God that we have an American President that is transparent, availble to the press, and a Cheerleader for America First.
