John --
Welcome back to our Controlling What You Can series. Last week's topic was the environment. This area has a lot of depth to it, so we'll surely be digging in deeper into individual areas in future installments of the series, but we started with some high-level questions.
Here were your thoughts:
The vast majority of Forwardists are at least somewhat dissatisfied with how the US is doing on environmental issues, and a significant plurality are very dissatisfied. In short, we're not being good stewards for future generations.
There was a broad agreement in the comments you all submitted that the government can and must do a better job—that we have a moral imperative to safeguard the environment to ensure that younger generations will still have a world like the one we grew up in.
Two primary threads emerged in the comments and poll:
- Focusing on renewable energy and clean water dominated the polling, with clean water taking the edge between the two
- Nearly 48% of you believe that focusing on clean water should be a top priority, and nearly 40% believe the focus should be on renewable energy.
- In the comments, many of you expressed frustration at the political forces that have led us away from directly tackling these two issues, highlighting the need for a Party and candidates that are trying to solve these problems for Americans rather than listening only to their donors.
- You called for real change—for visionary action
- Nearly all of you want the US to be leaders globally in the clean energy revolution.
- You expressed desire for transformative policies over incremental change and called for leadership that inspires global cooperation towards a solution.
Because of each of you, Controlling What You Can has become one of our most engaging series, so we plan to continue it well into the future! Please let us know what topics you think we should cover next.
The Forward Party is building a new home for the politically homeless, and this is our first step in giving a voice to the politically voiceless. Thank you all for participating. This will help our candidates know what policies Forwardists will support on their platforms - and it's starting where it should: with you.
