Winning Back America: on Principles & Values

Attracts people who’ve felt excluded from the process

Clearly, Americans are disaffected with politics and with politicians. They do not believe that politicians are responsive to them; they don’t think government is on their side; they are not particularly interested in the political process. This disaffection must be responsible for a significant proportion of the public’s lack of engagement. We need people to get involved again.

Part of the answer is to speak directly to the people. I can’t stand Washington-speak, the kind of double-talk and evasiveness that is habitual inside the Beltway. I think that most Americans share my aversion.
