Lecture Topics
- Chapter 2: "The Numbers Game" — how 3.4 million workers take back the Republic
- The district strategy: organizing at the congressional district level rather than the national level
- The 21st Amendment precedent: how state-convention ratification bypassed captured state legislatures in 1933
- The 29th Amendment preview: congressional salary reform ($174,000 to $1.25 million), term limits (12 years combined), decentralization, revolving-door ban, single-subject legislation
- Why the book argues that term limits alone (the Convention of States approach) would "accelerate the revolving door" without addressing the root cause
Reflect & Discuss
Workshop: Is the 21st Amendment a valid precedent for the 28th? Compare the political conditions of 1933 (Prohibition repeal) with those of the present day. What structural conditions made state-convention ratification possible then, and which of those conditions exist or do not exist now? Start your District Deep-Dive: pick a congressional district — ideally your own — and track it as you move through the course.
