December 13, 2022 - National Day of Dialogue (Jan 5); Awkward, Important Conversations
What is your immediate, visceral reaction when I say “Kyrsten Sinema”? How about “trickle-down economics”? I don’t know about you, but these are such sensitive topics that I wouldn’t feel comfortable being fully candid about either topic with a stranger.

November 15, 2022 - Underreported News on the Midterm Elections
I am not proud to admit that I have been glued to the Internet over the past week following various races and vote counts. That included figuring out the best sources for updates on Nevada and Arizona. It is not healthy behavior and I don’t recommend it – even as I continue to do it for uncalled House elections.

November 7, 2022 - Election Day is Finally Here – Be Mentally Prepared (in a good way?)
The midterm elections are finally here.

November 1, 2022 - Anxious to “Do Something” Other Than Donating; We’ve Got You
Like many of you, my inbox is a steady stream of donation requests from one of the two major political parties – and this is after I added filters to get rid of most of them.

October 25, 2022 - Two Types of Changes Available These Elections; Cultural and Structural

October 18, 2022 - A Peek Beyond November; Podcasts, Debt, Beer, and Federalism
I, like most people, have a bit of a rebellious streak. After all, we’re reformers! And so with my inbox filled with five-alarm fundraising requests and constant news coverage of the upcoming elections….I’d like to turn our attention to some things that will matter today and after November 8th.

October 4, 2022 - Turning “Politics” From a Toxic Brew to an Asset with CGC and VPI
In a recent Fulcrum article, Henry Rowland of Veterans for Political Innovation (VPI) likens politics to fission based nuclear power, which comes with toxic byproducts. Fusion based nuclear energy, on the other hand, comes with none of the toxicity of fission. Fusion power is not viable yet, and switching to it would require fundamental restructuring. Similarly, Rowland says, politics can be productive and non-toxic with some fundamental changes to how it works.

September 27, 2022 - From Science to Practice: Civic Health Project & Listen First Project Discuss What ACTUALLY Works
