Wright On The Edge Asks Tough Questions About Our Politicians

“We often had an incentive to structure a problem so as to assure failure and, therefore, a good campaign issue [for all of us].” – Former member of Congress

• Why do politicians who seek genuine solutions to our gravest problems often lose elections?

• Why do lawmakers who knowingly let our problems grow worse stay in office indefinitely?

• Why do members of Congress who deceive their constituents keep their seats longer than those who tell the truth?

Our country faces monumental problems — millions of Americans losing their jobs and their homes, crushing deficits, runaway health care costs, an addiction to foreign oil, public schools that leave our children among the most poorly educated in the developed world. Yet the members of Congress keep fighting over these crucial problems rather than making progress on them.

Is it possible for us to goad our lawmakers to re-solve America’s problems in ways that will most benefit the whole country – in ways that liberals, conservatives and moderates can support? Join Wendy Wright and guest Sol Erdan from the Center for Collaborative Democracy this Saturday to find out. Talk just got interesting!
