WELCOME TO CITIZENscape!

In this area of EDWARDSCAPE the latest government actions are organized according to level of government and branch. An attempt is made here to separate fact from opinion. On the left side of the page are links to articles on what the govenrment has done. On the right side you can find featured opinion articles, from experts and students. I do not put every opinion article on this site, just the best from both the liberal and conservative perspectives. I encourage you to be aware of what both sides are saying so that you can understand the American political system more fully. Knowledge is power, and this site makes it easier to gain that power. Use it wisely.
