Empowering Civic Engagement
Empowering Local Communities Through Transparent Governance
The Good Government Constituent Committee (GGCC) is committed to promoting civic engagement and enhancing government transparency. Our mission is to connect citizens with their local representatives and encourage active participation in the democratic process.
At GGCC, we believe that informed citizens are the backbone of a thriving democracy. Our platform offers essential resources, including state-level news, legislative assessments, and community directories, to empower individuals to engage effectively with their government.
We prioritize accessibility, offering features such as American Sign Language (ASL) and text-to-speech capabilities to ensure everyone can participate in discussions and stay informed about local issues. (These features will be added by our webmaster as soon as the app is coded and installed.)

Our commitment to security and privacy is paramount. We implement robust measures, including secure logins and data encryption, to protect user information and ensure a safe environment for discussions.
Membership with GGCC not only grants access to valuable resources but also includes secure voter verification and interactive profiles, fostering a sense of community among members. Join us in our mission to enhance government transparency and encourage civic involvement across the United States.
There are five types of membership.
Non-voting Members – This can be anyone, as we do not publish restricted content. Non-voting members cannot post comments. They can read and share at will. Due to verification requirements, non-voting members are not permitted to interact with officeholders. (We do not want robots or spammers jamming up the system and harassing officeholders.
Registered Voting Members – This is for individuals who pay a one-time fee to have their voting status and ID verified. Registered voting members can participate in polls and express their opinions directly to both elected and appointed officeholders. They can choose to make their communications public (for all to see) or private between them and the officeholders they contact. Registered voting members may post comments.
Sponsoring Members ~ These are local businesses that want to support your efforts to clean up government and hold it accountable to the voting public. These are people whom we should all support because they help us. Visit their websites and view what they offer. Send them a thank you for their support of our mission. Sponsoring members can post comments.
Officeholder Members – These members cannot sponsor us or advertise. When they become a verified member, they can post content freely, subject to our standards of decency. No office holder can buy influence from us. They must earn their reputations by prioritizing the interests of their registered constituents over any influence they receive from special interests. Officeholder members can post comments.
Special Interest Members ~ This membership permits members to post positions and arguments. A fee schedule is in place to help cover our overhead and verification expenses, depending on the county, borough, or parish to which they wish to send press releases. Special Interest Members can post comments and make press releases.
