I think my member of Congress (state representative, mayor, city council person, etc.) is extremely obnoxious/rude/uncivil. What will the Institute do about that?

We believe the best way to lead is by example. If you want greater civility in the governing process, it has to begin with you! For further tips on building civility, please feel free to contact us.
