      Fed up with broken government, lawyer and author Philip K. Howard proposes five ways to liberate America. Plus, Tea Partiers and lefties react.

      Just Use Your Common SenseBy Henry Stern

      Some politicians are outright crooks, in it for the money; while others are just frightened rabbits. So reforming politics through politicians is nearly impossible, says Henry Stern, former NYC Parks Commissioner.

      We Need New Leaders Now!By David Webb

      Our institutions are incapable of internal self-correction and must be revamped, says David Webb, a talk radio host and founding member of the National Tea Party Federation.
