The new American story
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Bill Bradley believes that America is at a teachable moment when we are compelled to reevaluate our political system, our leadership, our agenda as a nation, and ourselves as citizens. Bradley shows why the story we are being told now about who we are as a people is not true. He then offers a new story about our nation, based on America's rich heritage and his belief in the character of the American people. Bradley explores what changes need to be made in our parties, in our politics, and in citizen activism to ensure America's future. He asserts that the American people are ready for the truth and suggests that the party that chooses the embrace this new story will be in power for a generation." "This call to action is addressed not only to the parties and elected leaders, but to citizens as well."-JACKET.
