Our government can exercise no authority in the restraint of political speech; in the right of the people to peaceably assemble; there is no state church; and the press is free to gather and disseminate the news.

Too much private money in elections; too much private money in the media.

Push tax revenue into elections. Possibly, a corporate surcharge. Increase the number of seats in the House to no more than 100K citizens per representative.

Hire a logician. I was a philosophy major in college. Rather than spend time on the religious side of the arguments...on the advertising, so to speak...I want more truth squad'ing and logical analysis. Less emotional confrontation.

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.
