Writing the 28th Amendment – Richmond, VA
September 25, 2018 @ 5:15 pm - 8:00 pm UTC+0
Come be a part of the solution to the problem of our broken elections – from money in politics, to gerrymandering, to term limits – what do you think is the most urgent reform, and the best strategy to win?
Join American Promise Founder and President Jeff Clements, Take Back our Republic Executive Director John Pudner, Fix it America Managing Director Steve Lipscomb, former First Lady of Virginia Professor Roxane Gilmore, representatives from American Constitution Society, and fellow concerned citizens for engaging conversation about what the next amendment to the United States Constitution must do or say.
You will learn from our expert panelist and each other about the problems with big money in politics and other flaws in our elections and how a Constitutional amendment could solve them, and have the opportunity to participate in the discussion, vote on solutions, and help chart the course of this historic movement.
This process will inform and educate; engage people of all backgrounds and political viewpoints; provide feedback for Congressional proponents of different Amendment approaches; create a deep and wide reservoir of informed citizens, legislative witnesses and local, state and federal advocates for the 28th Amendment; and build consensus for the most effective Amendment language.
The event is co-sponsored by American Promise, The American Constitution Society, Take Back Our Republic, and Fix It America, and is part of the ongoing Writing the 28th Amendment town hall series.
