I’d like to see more effort put into educating the layman, winning hearts and minds of the electorate, rather than trying to fight in the halls of power. With the votes and The People, we can win.

Are you familiar with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute? They conducted a civics survey not too long ago:

American Civic Literacy

Feel free to shudder upon reading the overall results.

I would like to see more time towards voter accountability. We vote, but how do we know our vote went to where it was intended?
