Truth and facts are largely absent in discourse (mostly on the political right). The good of the American people is secondary to personal success of politicians.

People on the political left need to make their voices heard, but they also need to accept the reality of what is possible. I think the tendency has been to sacrifice all for their ideals.Perhaps that is also true of the far right.

Here is what is missing: where is the ACT part of this website? I was hoping to find links to organizations that are taking action on the issues. Could be orgs on all sides of the issues, but there is strength in numbers and I am eager to do my part.

Our new site is based on the notion that here in the United States, you can express yourself however you want. Hey, It's a Free Country, right? But we also know that political discourse has reached a point where people are talking past, not to, each other. We've been asking our guest bloggers "What does the phrase mean to you?" and "What's broken in politics, and how do we fix it?" Now we want to hear from you! Take the Free Country survey below. You don't have to answer all of the questions, just tell us what's on your mind.
