Description
Congressional term limits. The national debt. Money in politics. Our political system won't change until our citizens do. Until we become issue voters instead of partisan ones. And until we vote on the issues that truly matter to the nation. Our political system is more dysfunctional than ever. Deficits and debts are rising while the benefits of government policy go to those who can buy the laws they want. The daily news seethes with outrage. It makes us weary. It makes us wish we could turn our faces away from the ceaseless storm. It makes us want to give up. Our voices have been drowned out by partisan lockstep and unfettered bribery at the highest level. Our right of representation has been lost in the late age of hyper-partisanship. The America you learned about in school, the one of Valley Forge and Abraham Lincoln and the Arsenal of Democracy sounds like a fairy tale made up by our great-grandparents. It feels like our unity is gone. But we have a deal with Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, and every American who came before us and worked and sacrificed so that the noble experiment of government by the consent of the governed shall not perish from the earth. We owe an obligation to generations yet unborn. The America we were taught to love in grade school is still here. If we can't count on our elected leaders, or those with the power of commerce and media to hold to our founding ideals, then there is no one left. No one but all of us.
