 Call to Service Summit at Richard Stockton College shows citizens the paths to combat government waste, fraud
Press of Atlantic City
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
More than 300 people came to Richard Stockton College of New Jersey on Tuesday evening to learn how to become leaders in their communities and cut wasteful spending.
The South Jersey Call to Service Summit was sponsored by the nonprofit Citizens' Campaign. The group's literature says its goal is "to replace New Jersey's culture of corruption with a culture of service, represented by thousands of new leaders committed to an honest, cost-effective government."
"This is not a good-government meeting, this is not a civics class," Chairman Harry Pozycki told the assembled group. "This is a call to come and conquer the fraud and waste that plagues our state."

Soon after the climatic election of 2008, we wrote congratulations you won. Now the country is yours. Now run it. We weren't kidding.Only in nuanced ways has the government changed and that's not what a lot of people have wanted. What's needed is a shot of mostly independent moderates to get involved in a big way. We don't agree with a lot of what the Teapartyers say but still have to admire their spunk, as well as their ability to organize and make their opinions heard.
Up to now we've thought that individual moderates have little chance of making their positions heard given the way the two parties pick their candidates, but we came across one group that could have the remedy - "Citizens Campaign-Jersey Call to Service. If their Web site jointhecampaign.com is to be believed, they are not for any one specific ideology but rather want to get more people involved.
