It seems to me that we’re, collectively, waking up from a decades-long slumber as Americans. Maybe it’s that we can’t stand to see the direction of the country or, perhaps, it’s a pure level of disdain and animosity towards our elected officials. Either way, it’s good to see us getting more interested and involved than we have the in the past.

My guest today, host of the Citizen Podcast and The Drinkin’ Bros Podcast, Dan Hollaway joins me to talk about not only our rights as citizens but our obligations and responsibilities. We talk about what it means to be a good citizen, why we seem to get the worst of our people in politics, how to change the tide of American politics and culture through “State Nullification,” why there are no rights without associated responsibilities, and the power of and ways men can get involved.
