Publisher's Synopsis
Are you FED UP with Congress? For most Americans, the answer would be an emphatic, "Yes!". So why do members waltz back into office term after term? Even in so-called, change years? Are Americans really that dumb? ... Maybe not. In this book, a veteran activist and observer opens the hood of our political system, and reveals as never before the innocent, but crucial errors made by the founders in designing our national legislature. You will learn how those flaws combined with human nature to produce an institution that now fails us so thoroughly, so often, it no longer seems capable of rational public policy. You will see how today's politics seduces and corrupts even the best and most well-meaning leaders, including someone you have trusted (and re-elected) for years. You will understand why our leaders refuse to act, and why reforms fail time and again. Finally, the author proposes a sensible plan, along with effective steps you can take, to truly Fix Congress, once and for all!
