The Citizen's Tool Kit contains 20 modules, listed below. The concept is to begin actively managing your government by choosing JUST ONE THING -- and doing it. Choose one action – any action. This is YOUR tool kit to help you and your group take action and monitor upcoming elections, so contribute input as desired. You own your government, it's not the other way around. When you own something, it's up to you to manage it. The Citizen's Tool Kit was created through combined expertise with many of our nation's most effective and experienced citizens, to help you learn the management skills that work. When you take any action in this Citizen's Tool Kit, you will master skills to enact truly meaningful oversight over your government. Your children and grandchildren will inherit the government you give to them. If you don't manage your own government, who will?

Enjoy! * * * * * "Regardless of size, just 1-3 people do all the work in any group. Better to have 10 groups of 10 people than one group with 100 people. That way, at least 10 people will get things done." (-- John Brakey, an Arizona citizen) You own your government, not the other way around. This is your task: Pick 1 thing and just DO IT. Then lead, mentor or organize 9 people to do the same thing. Citizen Tool Kit to Take Back Elections: http://www.blackboxvoting.org/toolkit.pdf Begins 8/1/06
