Mike McCabe, founder and president of Blue Jean Nation and author of Blue Jeans in High Places: The Coming Makeover of American Politics, will talk about how the ranks of the politically homeless are growing in America, and what history shows will happen whenever that occurs. He will talk about the need to loosen and eventually break the grip of the professional political consulting industry that is lording over our democracy and create opportunities for people who don't practice politics for a living to participate meaningfully in the public arena. His message is about how to revive citizen-centered, people-powered politics and get people with a life outside of politics back in the driver's seat of our government.
