Episode 5 - What does Local mean ?

How do you think about your status as a citizen of your hometown, your state and the United States?   So how do you think about your “Local?”  I think for most folks, this is a new question.  But our Constitution requires that we think about it because it spreads power among those three levels of government, where we pay taxes and live by the respective laws. The beauty of the bottom-up government our founders created, is that it embraces the commence sense fact of diversity. We are a huge beautiful nation that contains people of all races, and cultures and faiths who, like my grandparents, immigrated here for the same reason: Freedom and opportunity. They were leaving countries with less freedom and opportunity.
