Quill Sword: Cutting through the hopelessness and nonsense. Political analysis and commentary with a focus on providing the tools to control government, all the stuff they should have taught in school, but didn't. It's not hopeless. You're not helpless. Government isn't some intractable monster. Government is just a horse with a lot of bad habits and you can teach it to do better. That's what Government BY the People is all about - people governing their government. Join us three days a week for a little commentary, a little education and a lot of snark - who says politics can't be fun?
