Let’s Fill the Vacuum

Who has a coherent vision for better government? Good leadership is vital but not sufficient. The current framework frustrates everyone. 
 
Today, we offer a vision to overhaul America’s public operating system—not to de-regulate, but to re-regulate with simpler codes that liberate Americans to take responsibility again. Over 100 prominent citizens and experts have signed our petition calling for “spring cleaning commissions” to clear out unnecessary red tape. Here are the press release and 6-minute video for our Campaign for Common Good
 
Our immediate goal is to introduce system overhaul into the 2020 debates. To build public demand for real change, we will roll out a 16-plank platform and host weekly online forums. Today we released our first two planks, on the legal framework for COVID-19 recovery and restoring accountability and honor to public service. 
 
A principled, powerful movement is needed to dislodge entrenched interests. Please join us. Sign the petition. Forward this to your friends, and encourage them to sign up. Start asking politicians how they propose to make government work better.
 
The only cure to extremism is a coherent governing vision that re-empowers Americans, at all levels of responsibility, to make things work sensibly and fairly. Join with us to fill the vacuum in the center, and others will join too.
