For decades, Americans have been told that our democracy is unfixable—too divided, too corrupt, too complicated to save. A Blueprint for American Democracy proves otherwise. Drawing from a lifetime of civic observation, IT-driven problem-solving, and lived experience inside a system that too often fails working people, John Layman maps out real, actionable steps to restore government of, by, and for the people. Each chapter focuses on one essential reform—from fair maps and open government to universal healthcare, affordable education, and ethical leadership—paired with plain-spoken explanations and ready-to-use solutions that citizens, activists, and policymakers can put to work today.
