"But that doesn't mean your work is done. The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote. America's never been about what can be done for us. It's about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government. That's the principle we were founded on", President Barack Obama -re-election speech in Chicago on Tuesday night, November 6th.

Gleaning a paragraph from President Obama's speech, dare ask: What do you declare as your role in building and developing your community and your country?

This is a question for everyone. I request that you answer the question making it applicable to your community and your country.
