- Value [1] Voting
- The proportion of people voting in America will increase and the electorate will be a diverse and accurate representation
of our society as a whole.
- Value [2] Openness, Diversity, and Accuracy in Representation
- Public service, whether elected, appointed or voluntary, will be open to all Americans and will create a political system
that is a diverse and accurate representation of our whole society.
- Value [3] Partnership in Governance
- We will change the way Americans view their government, and the way government views the people. No longer will ordinary people
be merely consumers of government services. We will be active partners with government and with each other.
- Value [4] Bidirectional Communication with Public Officials
- The routines of our public life will change. It will be a regular occurrence for officials and the public to listen to each
other, and for citizens to find ways to work together.
- Value [5] De-Fragmentation and Quality of Life
- The quality of our lives will be improved, as the people know their voices are heard, and as the partisan fragmentation of
society lessens.
- Value [6] Empowerment and Diversity of Viewpoints
- This newly empowered definition of what it means to “have a voice” will make it more likely that many people, of all backgrounds,
will use their voices and energies to make a tangible difference.
