Overview
This grant renewal will assist Ethics and Public Policy Center and its senior fellow, Peter Wehner, in their efforts to remind Americans of the value of politics and how to think concretely about how to improve it. Through television appearances, columns, essays, and a forthcoming book, The Death of Politics, Mr. Wehner will argue that restoring America’s noble political tradition can get us back to the task of making America a more perfect union. If citizens demand more of our politicians by demanding more of themselves, our politics and country will improve.
