...is to stay aware of the constant local, state and especially Federal legislation that has a chance of affecting all our lives...
the sad fact is... humans need laws. We're a troubled bunch, but we need to laws that protect our freedoms, not systematically take them away.
History has shown us that the Rule of Law and the protection of human and individual rights is what has propelled prosperity and stability around the globe. Some areas of the World are still lacking, but overall, laws have solidified the best possible outcomes for most people. That's a good thing, but sometimes governments lay down laws that purposely or indirectly violate human rights. That's why we have to be very careful when the People give power to government because even when they're trying to do good,.. the WE know Better People don't always do the BEST for everyone!.
AND the reason everyone should pay attention to politics is simple...
"Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in it's best state is but a necessary evil, in it's worst, an in tolerable one!"
Thomas Paine
Therefore, this Site is dedicated to Keeping Ourselves and our lawmakers on track.
Our Constitution and the liberty it now affords is in very delicate and dire straits. We know that some laws are needed and some initiatives are helpful and goodhearted, but we must have a balance and we must be very careful when implementing laws, especially federal ones that have a tendency to over arch and overbear on state, local and individual rights. We figure the best way for most of us to gain a better understanding of these issues is through information put forth by citizens that deal with them and are affected by them in their personal situations and in their respective fields of business.
The people that experience the ramifications or the benefits first hand and have to work through, with, or around certain laws on a daily basis.
Post and discuss information and shed light on any corruptions that might hinder your life, your occupation, your liberty and your rights.
C.O.P.S. stands for... Citizens Overseeing Public Service...

Students, Teachers, Professors, Parents, Homemakers, Doctors, Nurses, Scientists, Lawyers, Administrators, All Workers and Business Owners, Police Officers, Paramedics, Military Personnel and Hopefully, Legislators from all levels. are all called to help.

The quote at the top of the page is an important philosophical statement and beautiful in it's simplicity like most good quotes. It points to Government becoming a negative when in it's worst form which of course, is tyranny, but this is by no means a Government bashing website. It is here to help us understand the delicate balance of laws and liberties in society and how the important task of government is to nurture that balance between rules and rights. The mission of CopsandBloggers.com is to help foster proper viewpoints of personal liberties and rights in order to understand the reasons why we relinquish some of them in order to gain the benefits of peacefully living together in Society. We will also come to understand why some societal benefits created to try and further the greater good end up causing more problems than expected and begin to encroach into the realm of the individual's rights.
Through civil argumentation among people from all walks of life and all ideological sides and by utilizing a prism of truth, reason and practicality, we will breakdown social issues to their simplest forms and try make sure that justice is actually prevailing.
We will continually post informative and challenging topics that will garner a deeper understanding of the many societal woes and welfares and through the analysis of real history we will all come to a clearer realization of what it means to be Human and what it will take to live together on this ever evolving planet. Please post your Ideas and concerns and come join this very important ongoing discussion.
