About CivicSources
CivicSources is a web portal designed to answer all of your civic inquiries. CivicSources will become the go-to-portal for reliable community, regional and national information much as webMD is for medical inquiries or the AAA is for driving and vacation needs. CivicSources does what few, if any websites do- aggregate and vet civic oriented information in one convenient place and provide context for that information.
CivicSources is non-profit and non-partisan. It will not only point you in the direction of answers to your civic inquiries; but also provide thoughtful and concise explanations as a starting point for you to further explore your interests online.
CivicSources ensures that you know the benefits, entitlements and opportunities available to you as a tax paying citizen.
Perhaps most valuable, CivicSources endeavors to create knowledgable citizens who are inspired to participate and become actively engaged in their community.
Of course, there are already extensive online resources available through internet search engines. There are even wonderful civic sites on the internet such as i-civics, which was begun by the late Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner to assist schools in teaching civics. There are also many other civic oriented sites that stress civics education and some that highlight other areas of civic culture such as The Center for Civic Education. We list many of these on our News & Media resource section. We can engage and learn from them all.
CivicSources welcomes these resources and streamlines the search process through compiling targeted, relevant, and most important, fact-checked search results on any given civic subject- before heading out to the wider world of the web.
Have you spent hours searching to find a local federal government agency in your area? And to clarify what services they provide? Do you have other time-consuming and often confounding questions? Then CivicSources is for you. Our goal at CivicSources is to cut down on these endless searches and to be the starting point for locating the most reliable information on your interests.
Whatever our political persuasion, we awaken every day to the balancing act between individual liberty and community obligation. Whether our passions lie in issues of speech, guns or healthcare; we use a maze of choices in our decision making. Let CivicSources facilitate these decisions by presenting the most accurate information available to you.
Because of Covid and its continuing impact on the health of those in the United States and elsewhere; we will focus on the pandemic and the issues which it poses whenever new informaiton is available.
