We the people do we truly understand its meaning for our upcoming election.

It's not just about picking between two presidential candidates and hoping they don't control our lives.

Elections should be about embracing self-government

and having a real say in our communities.

Yes, we participate in every level of elections, from presidential races to the even more crucial state and local contests.

But we know that top-down solutions will never cultivate freedom.

Instead, genuine liberty flourishes through the active engagement and self-determination of people like you and me.

So, how did the importance of self-government in elections get overshadowed by so much noise.

At American habits, we tell stories of real people with real solutions,

all working to restore federalism and push back against centralized tyranny.

If you're a public official, come get involved.

If you're a citizen, come see the new standard of American leadership.

No matter who you are, come help us renew the forgotten but not lost habit of American self-government.
