Welcome!
The goal of "We The People" Of Nora is to serve as a "civics refresher" for registered voters living in and around Nora, Indiana.
Simply put, civics is "the study of the rights and obligations of citizens in society". Unfortunately, most school systems (public and private) in America, did not require civics as a mandatory course while many from the Silent, Boomer, and “X” generations were in school.
Fortunately, here in Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed House Bill 1384 in 2021. This law requires all students in sixth grade take a civics course, and the Civics Education Commission developed curriculum standards in 2022 that emphasize students learn about the foundations and functions of government and their role as citizens.
As a unique and strictly nonpartisan group, we will take a deeper dive on how our government is DESIGNED to work. Most important, The U.S. Constitution, The Indiana State Constitution, as well as The Indiana Code, will be our guiding principles as we connect directly with our legislative representatives.
