Since the 1980s Washington politicians have urged voters to turn their backs on their neighbors. Glenn firmly believes that this radical ideology has undermined the foundation of our American democracy. In the Preamble, Americans made a promise to each other. It clearly states that “We the people” will work to create a “more perfect Union.” Americans must renew that promise. My goal is simple. Let's stop demonizing each other. Let's talk about works. We can't do that unless we educate ourselves. From my personal experience, not many people want to. It's easier to call names and throw stones. We can have a brighter tomorrow.
