    Andrew Stewart commented on the post, Lawrence Lessig’s Anti-Corruption Act Doesn’t Strike the Root of Money in Politics 1 month, 1 week ago

    Hey Kevin. You’re thinking of Arizona Free Enterprise Club’s Freedom Club PAC vs Bennet. The majority wrote that matching campaign funds infringed on the speech of the trigger (the privately financed candidate). […]

    Andrew Stewart commented on the post, Budget from Paul Ryan Too Steep, Risks Economic Disruption 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    Aye, Simpson-Bowles has largely laid out the ground work for a serious solution. It doesn’t have to be Simpson-Bowles necessarily, but it already exists. The problem is that SB won’t gain serious traction in […]

    Of course. I thought that’s what I was doing with the comments. I’m all about a diversity of opinions.

    There must be a third way.

    And of course there is.  These are a bit old now, but ThirdWay.org produced dual reports, each debunking the extreme positions of solving our fiscal problems through either spending […]

    Andrew Stewart commented on the post, Uniters: Moderates & Liberals Unite over Raising the Minimum Wage 2 months ago

    Andrew Stewart commented on the post, Uniters: Moderates & Liberals Unite over Raising the Minimum Wage 2 months ago

    Sol, forgive me for being a bit excitable over the topic of defining the center, but I think it’s a very important part of the movement that I think we need to be very careful with.

    The problem with invoking […]

    Andrew Stewart commented on the post, Moderate & Centrist Political Identity Crises & Challenges 2 months, 1 week ago

    It’s important that the center not focus too much on identity. In a way we are anti-identity. We must be advocates of political diversity amidst an environment of political conformity.

    Andrew Stewart commented on the post, Uniters: Moderates & Liberals Unite over Raising the Minimum Wage 2 months, 1 week ago

    Are you with us or against us?!? Sol, who are you to define what are centrist positions. No! Wrong wrong wrong! This not the way to go about fostering a centrist movement. Coercing conformity around fabricated […]

the 60+% / the sixty plus percent

Unlike the propaganda that the two major parties & media would have us believe, a super-majority of Americans stand together on the vast majority of issues. Roughly the 60+% / sixty plus percent of us that see things eye to eye on how the country should move forward are mostly unrepresented in Washington.
