The battle to direct legislation and policy often seems to be a fight between greed and compassion. Emotions run so high that family members stop speaking to one another and long-time friendships fall by the wayside. But the problems being debated--climate change, universal healthcare, LGBTQ rights, gun regulation, economic inequality, and the separation of church and state--desperately need to be resolved. In this volume, Johnny Townsend, author of The Tyranny of Silence and The Washing of Brains, shares many of the ideas he's published in The Salt Lake Tribune, LA Progressive, Main Street Plaza, and a variety of other publications on these and many more vital issues of our day.
