The Voices Behind We the People Dispatch
Leslie Grossman - Stamford, CT
"I know the power of 'we the people,' not just in politics but surrounding anything you wish to accomplish. We are living in an exciting moment, when the opportunity to grow your circles of collaboration has never been richer. Two million members? No problem."

Christine Merser - Wiscasset, Maine
“We are not without power. Each of us, doing one thing a day, if joined by millions of others, will change the outcome of this election. It is our responsibility to participate in the process with more than a vote every four years. We owe it to those who have gone before. I hope you will join us.”

Alexandra Lally Peters, Sharon, Connecticut
“It’s all about emotions , these elections. Hope, despair, apathy, fear. That’s what we’re mostly reacting to. We want to be part of a group that feels the same way we do, believe the same stuff, follow the same stories. We want our leaders to be people we can admire and trust. We want them to be like us, but smarter, stronger, more exceptional.”

Andrew Singer - Cape Cod, Massachusetts
"Understanding the China-United States dynamic is critical to 'we the people' understanding the enormity of the similarities and differences between the countries. Being well-versed in these dynamics will make us all more tolerant, realistic, and effective in overseeing US policy with this most important country."

About Andrew
Since Andrew Singer was a small child, determinedly digging his way to China on the beaches of Cape Cod where he grew up, his love of both America and China grew into an academic commitment and passion dedicated to understanding both countries' cultures, as well as how their interactions with each other affect a global marathon for security, stability, and dominance. After attending Vassar College and Georgetown University Law Center, Mr. Singer has spent decades studying the two countries, seeking to explain to himself and his followers the backstory and possible future of both countries, separately and as they intermingle. Mr. Singer lectures on cultural aspects of China as well as its political approach to bringing the country to power.
Debbie Slutzky - Chicago, Illinois
“Unbeknownst to CM, my addiction to media has been increasing over the past 8 years, and I recently tried to stop cold turkey. But, I felt out-of-touch and needed, not a fix, but something holistic and trustworthy. Treatment: We the People Dispatch.”

Susan Williams - Astoria, NY
“I jumped on Vote Forward for people like me who want to turn anxiety into action. I printed out their template letter, inserting my handwritten paragraph: ‘Voting is important to me because our vote is our voice, and we each have the power to make our voice heard. My vote will reflect what kind of country I want to leave to my grandchildren.’”
