Following an economic tsunami of historic proportions, American
democracy finds itself plagued by partisan polarization, a rigidly
divided Congress, superficial political debate, and political
paralysis. Even before the economic crisis, the United States was
beleaguered by choiceless elections, out-of-control campaign
spending, suspicious voting equipment, partisan election officials,
even a partisan U.S. Supreme Court. Americans are growing
increasingly frustrated and tuned out, as the middle collapses and
the partisans take over. Just in time for the 2012 elections, 10
Steps to Repair American Democracy: A More Perfect Union addresses
head-on the mine field built into our political system. In a brand
new edition, political critic Steven Hill expands on his ten-step
program to improve American democracy. He proposes specific reforms
to give voters more choices at the ballot box, boost voter turnout,
calm the Senate's "filibuster gone wild" ways, modernize our media
institutions, turn off the spigot of corporate donations, and bring
the U.S. government back to the mainstream. In the face of mounting
cynicism about the American political system, 10 Steps to Repair
American Democracy is a refreshing blueprint for how to resurrect
our Founders' democratic vision. It will change the way you think
about American politics.
