About Dear Citizen

In January 2015 I spent a week with the New Hampshire Rebellion walking across parts of the state (in the spirit of Granny D and her walk across America). When four groups—walking from four points of New Hampshire—converged in Nashua for a rally, I learned so much about campaign finance reform…and it infuriated me.

In the years since I’ve read many books and articles, watched many documentaries, and followed many organizations. I’ve discovered that it’s a topic that people often just throw up their hands in concession to corrupt politicians. We can’t do that.

A lot of people I’ve talked to think that it is too complex to understand, but it really is very simple: human greed.

I also realized most people need “a way in” to the topic, so we wrote a book that is designed to be read in a few minutes, and kickstart conversations.

The good thing is that 80% of Americans, regardless of political party, think there is too much money in politics. We already agree on something! 91% of Americans also believe this can’t be changed. That has to change.

Now we need to show how to fix the problem and encourage others to stay informed and take action, such as public financing, disclosures of all donations, a constitutional amendment, end gerrymandering, free airtime, and compulsory voting.

The idea is to use the book to start a conversation, which you can do with the online version or pre-order a print edition to share in person and have a heart-to-heart talk.

It’s simple, really. The majority of us do not want this level of corruption. So let’s change it together.
