Are you thinking there's something about our system that just isn't right? Are you thinking there must be a better way to select our political leaders? Are you wondering how to get there from here? Then read this book. Through an historical twist of fate, Bruce Herring has created a fictional present where participatory democracy is real. A present where political leaders do not have to be farcical pathetic figures. A present that offers solutions instead of tired clichés. Welcome to New Albion, a small city-state carved out of the United States. Meet Presidential candidate Gabriella Hunter Vallejo. Follow her on her visionary quest that represents nothing less than the next step in the evolution of human citizenship.
