Congress can fix this.
Governing means turning shared problems into durable, representative public policy. The Constitution assigns that job to Congress.
But for decades, while our attention has been consumed by the presidency, the courts, political parties, and never-ending campaigns, Congress stopped working as the Constitution intended.
We can fix Congress.
We have far more power than we realize. A surprisingly small number of voters, candidates, and newly elected representatives can make Congress govern again.
No new party. No revolution. Just one commitment voters can ask candidates to make before Election Day.
It doesn't take everyone. It takes Just 20.
“Foster offers a practical, refreshing answer to the question I hear
most about our governmental dysfunction: ‘What can one person
do to help?’ Just 20 offers the hopefulness of The West Wing
and the pragmatism of a person who’s spent her life trying to
meaningfully improve her community.”
Why won’t our government solve solvable problems?
If you think American government is not working the way it should, you’re right. Our Constitution created a democracy capable of solving our shared problems. Over time, governing gave way to politics and never-ending campaigns. Just 20 provides a practical plan any voter can understand to put our government back to work—for us. We already have the power. It is time to use it.
