Reflections Magazine, Hibbard, MN, April 2006
I am calling for the creation of a non-profit organization whose constituency would be
all
Americans. This institute would ignore political affiliation or economic clout when evaluating events in the political field. Issuing its decisions in policy papers, op-ed articles, press releases, scorecards on the votes of public servants and reaching out in other manners, this non-profit watchdog would create an agreed upon
moral
center from which to judge the legislation and the public actions of our elected leaders.
