The Middle American
Do you find yourself to be politically homeless? Do you feel like nobody represents you in Washington or state/local government? Are you tired of rising rhetoric and hyperpartisanship? Are you finding that you are affording less regardless of which party is in power? This podcast is for you.
I am in the middle. I am registered unaffiliated. But we need to do more than simply change our voter registrations. And we certainly cannot afford to completely opt out of politics. We must engage if we want real change.
This podcast is a step towards that change. But real change happens when listeners decide to do more than just listen - when they decide to act. My hope is that listening motivates you to take that step, no matter how small, to make your community better.
