Improving Democracy

  1. Healthy Democracy: Empowering a Clear and Informed Voice of the People, 2003. This is my only published book. I never tried to market it, but still was surprised that word-of-mouth led to virtually no sales. Not posted on this website, but a few copies are still available from Amazon.
  2. HEALTHY DEMOCRACY, A Retrospective and Look Ahead. This 12-page paper is an update of my thinking on democracy through December, 2013.
  3. “Restoring American Democracy” (March, 2015) is an incomplete paper on steps that could be taken to make major improvements in democracy. Six issue areas are explored. I hope to wrap this up well enough by the summer of 2015 to be able to post it.
  4. “Building a New America” (current) takes off from the above by proposing this vision: “We must overcome the politics of divide and conquer that now dominates our political system. We must find a way to unite Americans through methods that enhance reason and compassion.” It proposes some specific ways to unite the American people. I hope to finish this by the summer of 2015.
