"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform.   Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation." — Susan B. Anthony

This category might be better titled "About You" because your opinions determine what this site is about and how it changes from one week to the next.   We simply solicit, read, edit, and publish your opinions, count your votes, and share the results.

We could have also called this section "About U.S." because the issues we're discussing will literally shape what the United States will look like 5, 10, and 20 years from now.   Our purposes are multifold:

• Generate reasonable, responsible, bi-partisan dialog about important issues
• Help individuals form independent opinions and take a stand
• Make it easy to share your opinions with your elected representatives and with each other
• Increase participation in government by the people
• Ultimately make Congress more responsive to the people

"We" are a brother and sister team who grew up believing that we could do something for our country.   With your help, we could become a political voice that influences the issues of our day.
