Looking for a speaker with a different take on local and national politics and culture? Steve Brawner is a syndicated columnist published in nine newspapers and at independentarkansas.com. He has published an education magazine for 10 years and covered other issues such as transportation and health care extensively. He also frequently appears on AETN’s “Arkansas Week” television show. Steve previously served as communications director for Lt. Governor Win Rockefeller.
As a columnist and blogger, Steve’s goal is to provide an avenue for concerned citizens to talk, not yell, and to think independently. He offers insights into Arkansas and national politics, with a special emphasis on state government issues. What are the trends? Who are the major players? What major pieces of legislation could be enacted in the next legislative session? Steve can help answer all of these questions.
This is an angry time. While others sow division, Steve shows how Americans could be united by their common challenges. His philosophy – “future generationism” – transcends typical political labels. He says American politics must stop being held captive to short-term political fights and
instead focus on what’s best for our children and grandchildren. In other words, it’s not OK to burden future Americans with a $20 trillion national debt.
In an age when so much divides us, future generationism is an idea that could unite us. Steve says Americans should demand that both Republicans and Democrats become posterity parties. If they refuse, then it’s time to form a Posterity Party ourselves.
Steve wants to make you think, but he doesn’t want to make you angry. There’s already enough people doing that.
