Let's Get Focused: Suggestions for Improving America
The public has been disaffected with politics for some time. The ordinary person feels unheard and ignored. Part of this comes from the elevation of politicians to “royalty” status versus public servants. The other part comes from the disengagement and laziness of the public. Political office has become a career, instead of a term of service. Disinformation and lies from special interest groups keep the public uninformed and victims of whatever is the outrage of the day.
In Let's Get Focused Ronald F. Jackson addresses eleven constitutional amendments and eleven policy/law changes that will make American society more democratic and fairer to all. Issues such as term limits, voting rights, the second amendment, reproductive rights, and more are addressed, with reasonings for each change. Further, policies and laws that need to be implemented or changed are addressed, such as tax policy, the filibuster, and social media.
