From Oath to Action

"Our democratic institutions need repairing--on that most Americans would agree. But institutions change only when the people in them change, and most people change only one step at a time. Therein lies the path forward. We don't need politicians who will "fix Washington." We need politicians who will fix themselves, one simple act of courage at a time. From Oath to Action suggests twelve acts of courage that could transform American politics. Some are so simple that anyone aspiring to leadership should embrace them. Others are for the more courageous. One is so powerful--a "do or die" pledge--that it could fix a long-hidden flaw at the heart of representative democracy." --from Amazon.com
