Song Of A Citizen
In a self-governing society
Who should we call on to fix broken government?
We can blame politicians, the media, or special interests
Till we're red or blue in the face
But sometimes you just have to turn the mirror around.
---------------------
Song Of A Citizen is a unique collaboration of thinkers and artists exploring what it really means to be a fully engaged and effective citizen in modern times -- how we-the-people are measuring up -- how we can do better -- and why we must.
Non-profit and non-partisan, our debut effort is an innovative series of Video Op-Eds for the internet featuring an array of nationally renowned political philosophers and self-governance experts -- presented in a playful and engaging visual style -- collectively making the case that all Americans need to start taking our jobs as citizens more seriously -- much more seriously -- as the only way to truly fix broken government, and our dangerously dysfunctional democracy.
Note: This site is a temporary placeholder until the the official site goes live, projected for April 2010. Please return then for the full experience. For now, it's just to describe the project for interested parties -- and to view the videos, which you can access by clicking on the numbered menu items above.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
