Overview

It doesn't take a genius to realize America's political system is broken. Congress is hopelessly divided, doesn't represent the people who elected them, and is mired in gridlock. Our presidential elections involve picking between the better of two evils. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if politicians actually represented the people who elected them, rather than the special interests that line their pockets? What if we could actually have candidates that we like, rather than trying to figure out which one we hate the least? What if people can actually have a tangible effect on the political system? This book argues that this future is within reach, provided voters have the knowledge, tools, and resolve required to take on a broken political system. A cross between introductory politics course and manifesto, Thinking Outside the Ballot Box covers the myriad of problems faced by the US government, as well as ways to fix them. What will you do to be part of the solution?
