Forthright Advising closes every year on Election Day so our teammates have time carved out to vote and volunteer. (Or, transparently, to ensure our team has some mental space that day – because we all know it can be a heavy day full of anticipation.) One of our core values is “creating a better world for children and families”. Closing on Election Day is yet another way we can live out that value. Not just on presidential election years. Every year. Why? Because every election, from the top of the ballot to the bottom, from federal to local, is important for our children’s futures. So let this be an encouragement to you and your teams - get out there, vote, volunteer and be kind to yourself and others. Our democracy depends on it.

I talked with Katherine Gehl about her and Michael Porter's book, *The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy.* We discussed my past familiarity with Michael Porter’s work, Porter’s five forces, the “what the hell is water” phenomenon, the Schoolhouse Rock problem, political industry theory, political payback for unhelpful activities, why political competitors are doing better as “customers” become more dissatisfied, the current American party system as a protected duopoly, nonprofit investments in things that have no chance, non-constitutional problems, the reversible accident of plurality voting, whether more parties are essential, how Ross Perot’s 1992 election pressured the two parties to balance the budget, reforming the primary system, final-five voting, Alaska’s experiment in final-four voting, instant runoffs, freeing players to make good strategic choices, lowering the barrier to entry for new thinking, and much more.

Political Economist, Author and advocate for American Democracy, equality and justice. My most recent books: RESTORE TRUST, RESTORE OUR DEMOCRACY, and WHAT WOULD THE FOUNDING FATHERS TELL US TODAY?
“In What Would The Founding Fathers Tell Us Today?: Political Dialogs Between 1789 and 2040, Werner Neff addresses the political issues raging in America. He uses the bold technique of imagining some of the Founding Fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Madison, and Franklin—returning to today’s world. He begins in 1789 by reviewing the discussions that occurred as they all met in Philadelphia to create an independent country, particularly the writing of the Articles of Confederation and later the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Mr. Neff creates informal, often humorous settings where the men’s personalities interplay. But we see these men seriously creating the first modern democratic state. Then in 2020, they return to see how things are going. For the reader, Mr. Neff predicts “an intriguing read.” And his prediction is spot on—but “intriguing” is an understatement because what a mess they discover! Before politics, however, they marvel at modernism in vehicles, buildings, smells, clothing, and food, and at their thirteen colonies having turned into 50 states. When their shock and awe settle, they see how reliance upon good faith, ethical behavior, and virtue has disintegrated into partisan rancor, particularly in the election process itself. They blame themselves for having created two flawed systems: the Electoral College and Gerrymandering. Then they go on to present what they believe will correct the current problems with present-day elections. Democracy depends, they say, on reliable elections. Throughout, Werner Neff imagines lively discussions on these issues among the returning Founders. The Founding Fathers Visiting the United States: Relevance and Meaning in America by Werner Neff illuminates our problems and offers possible solutions in an insightful and "intriguing" manner. This book might just help bring about the useful changes he proposes.” Jon Michael Miller, Readers' Favorite - Review (2022)

What can forgiveness achieve for #democracy? Can it repair a body politic riven not only by partisan divisions about the sanctity of the vote—the minimal condition necessary for democracy—but also by divergent understandings of democracy itself? Philosopher Myisha Cherry's new book helps us think about answers for our post 1/6 world. Read my take in the Los Angeles Review of Books: https://lnkd.in/gcr7Uxym
