Even as the United States faces threats from North Korea and terrorist groups abroad, while foreign powers such as China continue to grow in influence, the greatest threat to America’s national security is from within: the overwhelming dysfunction crippling our government. Deep divisions between the nation’s political parties, the outsized power of money and special interests in the policymaking process, a paralyzed legislative branch largely incapable of compromise and a lack of leadership from the Trump administration are creating confusion at home and power vacuums overseas.
Please join Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus and John Hamre, President & CEO of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for a press conference attacking the roots of dysfunction in Washington and the unveiling of a bold and bipartisan prescription for returning government to the American people, backed by a legislative framework to solve this crisis.
Speakers include:
John Hamre, President & CEO, the Center for Strategic and International Studies
26th U.S. deputy secretary of defense (1997-1999)
Fmr. Defense Policy Board Chair
Tim Roemer, ReFormers Caucus Co-Chair
Fmr. Ambassador to India (2009-2011)
