A local man’s effort to fix democracy

Two men wearing headphones sit at a table in a radio talk show studio: a man at left is wearing a tan blazer and a white, purple, and green plaid button-down shirt; a man at right has short dark hair and is wearing glasses, a white long-sleeved button-down shirt with light blue cuffs, polka dots, and jeans. He is holding a book with an American flag on the front cover. The book is titled "Caring for Democracy."

Dick Kaplan on "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Wednesday, July 17, 2024

A Rochestarian has co-authored a book on how to fix what he says is ailing America.

Dick Kaplan believes there is a vast political middle. His book is called “CARING for Democracy,” and it’s designed to be a roadmap for how government can listen to its people more effectively.

He calls the approach the “Institute for CARING.” He joins us to discuss it.
