"To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy: Ask not what the federal government can do for you... because the federal government under Donald Trump and his spineless sycophants don't care about you and don't care about governing. Those in power within the current three branches of government should be disqualified from holding public office. Their misguided initiatives, legislation, and rulings show us all very clearly that We the People must govern in coalition to save what remains of our republic and its institutions."
"The school-based program, Character Counts, is based on its "Six Pillars" of "universally accepted values... recognized across different cultures, socio-economic statuses, and religions" that "can be easily identified at school, home, or in communities." Projecting these Six Pillars as our lens of analysis, we can also assess our government leaders. Let's choose someone from the federal government and evaluate which of the Pillars they fulfill or violate, and which we aren't sure about."
"Here are the Six Pillars according to Counter Counts. These are not in rank order since they all hold similar value and weight: Trustworthiness: being honest and loyal, having integrity, keeping promises Respect: following the Golden Rule, accepting differences, being courteous to others, dealing peacefully with others, considering others' feelings Responsibility: doing what you are supposed to do, trying your best, being self-disciplined, thinking before acting,"
Federal leaders under the Trump administration are portrayed as neglecting governance and civic responsibility, prompting a call to disqualify current officeholders. The piece asserts that misguided initiatives, legislation, and rulings threaten the republic and that citizens must govern together in coalition to preserve institutions. The Character Counts school program and its Six Pillars serve as the evaluative framework for assessing leaders' conduct. The Six Pillars—Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship—are defined with behavioral examples and offered as standards to measure which pillars federal leaders fulfill, violate, or leave uncertain.
