If You Are Here in the US, You Have Responsibilities and Duties


Every individual has a definite set of responsibilities for his personal actions, and to perform certain actions, whether a citizen of the US or not. The main responsibilities of individuals are listed here, but it is not all encompassing.

He or she is responsible for the following (and more):

Self care -- feeding, clothing, shelter, medical care, and so on.
Earning -- finding a job, if needed, to earn one’s keep.
Family -- ensuring his family has the necessities of life.
Education – seeing that he and his children are educated properly.
Property – taking care of property; maintaining it in good shape.
Law -- obeying the laws of the locality, State, and the US.
Law -- aiding law enforcement in keeping the law.
Citizens -- informing themselves on issues and voting.
Citizens -- knowing the Constitution and Declaration of Indep.
Citizens -- knowing the history of the US in a positive way.
Citizens -- participating the processes of governance.
Neighborhood – being a good neighbor and a good citizen.
Language – using English, and learning it if needed.
Assimilation – becoming a US citizen if here permanently.
Serving – serving in the defense of the US if needed.
Other -- as required.

For those who are dissenters against the government, I say you are still bound by these responsibilities and duties, especially the duties with respect to the law.
