Unifying Questions
I wish I could say that this post would answer all our questions plaguing our country right now. It won’t. What this post hopefully will offer is a design for unifying our legislative and ideological process more efficiently.
Who We Are as “The People”
In the same way as our founding fathers intended, each one of us is responsible, wholly and without abjuration, to ensure the full and irrevocable rights of all American citizens through word and deed.
