About the book:
In this clear-eyed, non-partisan book of essays, Burgat and experts from both sides of the aisle cut through the spin about term limits, lobbyists, money in politics, and more, exposing the myths that lie at the heart of our political dysfunction and hold our democracy back. We Hold These “Truths” offers real-world insights into how our government actually works and empowers us all to understand and demand the kind of government that will bring about positive change.
