American democracy is broken. We must demand 2020 candidates commit to a fix If the Democrats make fundamental reform a "day one" commitment in the next administration, there is at least a chance that that commitment might help rally reformers among Republicans as well. This is the one issue that America is united about. We should at least find a way to talk about it that actually promises something real.

A Letter to the #Occup(iers): The principle of Non-contradiction We need to build and define this movement not by contradicting the loudest and clearest anger on the Right, but instead, by finding the common ground in our demands for reform.

A Letter to FixCongressFirst.org: Where we are, where we are going: With all the hand wringing over the direction of the country, the simple fact is that the citizens have allowed themselves to be co-opted by a political class interested more in its own political survival than the good of the country.

NeoProgressives It seems that just about every hundred years the body politic we call America swells with fever as it fights off a democracy destroying disease. That disease is "Special Interest Government," a government captured by the economically powerful in society, as they find a way to convert economic into political power; the fever comes from the reform movement, keen to kill that disease and restore an ideal of government of, by...

Obama's Pick of Kagan Recognizes the Difference Between 4 and 5 To hear the liberals talk about it, it sounds like they think we need a Thomas or Scalia of the Left. But nobody who understands the actual dynamics of the Supreme Court could actually believe that such a strategy would produce 5 votes. No doubt it would produce brilliant dissents. Right now, what we need is someone who can help move a divided Court, recognizing that we still stand in the minority. Kagan can do the job.
