I am tired of the political sideshow. I am tired of
political slogans and one liners that pundits spout off on national
television. This isn’t a game. Policies
affect PEOPLE everyday, just like you and me. So can’t we have a real
conversation about how, exactly, policies are affecting us? The goal of this
blog is to cut the bullshit and have a real, honest dialogue about how POLICY
affects you. I am a Civics teacher at a
High School in Denver, CO and have the great fortune of teaching students
everyday how to look past the partisan bickering and analyze policies
rationally.
I am not naïve, I have worked at the Democratic National
Committee, In The United States Senate for a Senior Senator and for a Special
Interest Group. I understand the delicate balance between making a policy look
good and making good policy.
As Dr. Martin Luther King demanded in a speech titled A Revolution of Values, “We must rapidly
begin the shift from a thing oriented society to a person oriented society.”
Policies are often described in large statistics and distant
political one liners. It is my goal to break down policies and figure out how,
exactly, they affect each of us.
Let’s do this right.
