The envisioned video channel (which would migrate to another video carrier if ever blacklisted by Google’s subsidiary, YouTube) will consist of 288 very brief reality TV episodes per year; one weekly episode from each of six TACTICAL CIVICS™ reality TV characters.
No professional actors, teachers, authors, or lecturers; only six characters drawn from such everyday American cohorts as:
- Shop, General Store, or cafe owner
- Long-haul truck driver
- Homeschooling mother
- College student
- Farmer or rancher
- Precocious, patriotic child (10-12 years old)
- Extreme sports professional
- Retiree/grandparent
- Commercial fisherman
- Firearms-related entrepreneur (preferably military veteran)
The goal is a wide geographic, socioeconomic, and age distribution.
Each episode will opening and close with a TC brand animation, and be 3-10 minutes long. Each character, speaking to the camera or to friends, neighbors, customers or the man on the street, will begin to re-train Americans to see themselves as the Founding Fathers envisioned — and as our Constitution demands. This is the self-concept and duties comprising popular constitutionalism, the term coined by former Stanford Law Dean Larry Kramer in his book, The People Themselves.
