I thought such a resource was necessary, because of what I saw as the decline of true political debate in the country, but also the growing acceptance among Americans that there were only two viable political choices every election.  PPN was to help encourage the sharing of other ideals and promote all candidates as a way of increasing political choice during elections.

In my opinion, such a portal is still needed.

With that said – the purpose of PoliPizza is less about creating a portal to drive a counter-balance to the media and entrenched political establishment, as it is my effort to be a vocal citizen.

I see many challenges impacting our country, and indeed, the world. 

I see political trends emerging in the electorate, strategic decisions evolving on the campaign trail, and subjects that masquerade as critical issues in the news media, but serve only to distract from the real challenges we face as a country.

My goal in this blog is to write about what I see, what I think, and how I feel about the country and the world from the only vantage point I can truly know – my own. 

It is my hope that you will find much of what I write compelling enough to offer a comment of your own.  Ideas are important, but dialogue is essential.

As the blog entries I write get posted, I will do my best to draw more and more people in, but I invite you to do the same.

Hopefully, over time, we can all benefit from the exchange by helping to increase one another’s awareness of the important issues facing us all and spurring us to action.

Best regards,
Michael Hackmer
