From the program: We face an unprecedented crisis in American democracy; attacks against community self-government, underemining of government accountability, the reign of Big Money over representativepolitics, total lack of transparency in how we process our own votes, and a choke-hold on the electoral system by twomajor parties increasingly underthe control of nefarious corporate interests. How did we ger here, and how do we goet out? Leading democracy activists discuss the need for a citizen-driven Democracy Movement to bring our socie4ty back from the brink.
