Process and Procedures
Task Force Description
The rules by which the government operates are the foundation of a republic. To ensure a free citizenry, our forefathers recognized the wisdom of clear instructions for the running of government. Rules ensure that policies are made and executed for the betterment of the people; and can only be made through the consent of the governed. To safeguard liberty, there must be rules of engagement between the government and the people.
Processes and procedures are government’s rules of engagement. This task force aims to protect, strengthen, and refine these rules. From time to time, it is the job of a responsible party to review those rules, look at them with a critical eye, and refine them to respond to modern challenges. This task force will do just that.
The United States was founded on the principle that her citizens control her destiny. Therefore, the integrity of elections is the chief concern of this taskforce. Each American has the right to have their voice heard. The voting process and procedures must ensure that the will of the people is quickly and accurately communicated.
