For this reason, I believe our fifth founding will involve the reestablishment of personal responsibility and local government. For too long, we have looked to our national government in Washington, D.C., to solve all our problems and to resolve all of our differences. But it is not the job of the president to fix your local school system; it is not the job of the Supreme Court to make decisions for your family or community. It is your job—and mine, and all of ours—to participate every day in self-government, not just to outsource democratic government to politicians.
