Understanding Results for America Campaign
Who are we?
Results for America is a project to find and raise up the
voices that most need to be heard. Our focus is on people most directly
affected by decisions made in Washington, D.C., state houses and
corporate boardrooms around the country. We are people from every
corner of the country and from all walks of life. We are a growing
network of Americans who love and believe in our country. We have
specific and practical ideas for making America safer, stronger,
healthier and more prosperous. Results for America is about bringing
people together to change the course of national debate.
Results for America is a project initiated by the Civil
Society Institute, a non-profit, independent organization dedicated to supporting
and encouraging the involvement of community level groups and individuals in
the public life of the country. Designed to give the public the tools they need
to educate candidates, policymakers, the media and each other, the project continues
the Civil Society Institute's ongoing work on the critical issues of health,
education, environment and national security.
Results for America calls on politicians and candidates from all parties to discover
America and to listen to the voices of experience and wisdom on the challenges
we face together as a nation.
