But as citizens who are deeply committed to self-governance, we also see this situation as an opportunity for us to put our hands and feet where our mouth is.\\ \\ We don’t need a distant bureaucracy in Washington to take care of us. We can, and will, take care of our own.\\ \\ So we're excited to launch a new initiative called **"COS Serves."** Our state leaders have been reaching out to state legislators to see if they have constituents in need. If we hear of a particular need, would **you** be willing to help? Families helping other families, neighbors helping other neighbors--this (not big, overreaching government) is the stuff that made America great.\\ \\ Join with us today as we care for our communities and show the world the power of self-governance in action.
