We don't
know civics.

That’s because it was cut from our schools. With the current gridlock and corruption at all levels of government, it’s never been more important for us to understand the powers we actually have. We can throw out bad representatives, elect good ones, and even pass our own laws in the majority of states when our representatives won't (like ballot measures, amendments, etc.)

Why should I care?

If you’re like us, you’re sick of a handful of people making decisions that affect you without your prior knowledge or input. If you're tired of the fact that many students buy custom term papers so their marks remain high and their nerves saved from the stress. It’s what happens when we don’t pay attention. So from here on out, OMG WTF will explain, concisely, how our government works; things like who’s in it, who does what, how they got there, and how we can affect it. Because we can only fix it if we’ve read the instruction manual. And because instruction manuals are boring as fuck, we promise to explain it in a way that’s far more exciting.
