Are you worried about the state of our democracy? Want to get involved but not sure where to start?
Old Firehouse Books presents an evening with professor and former congressional staffer Casey Burgat to discuss We Hold These "Truths," the book that #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant calls "the crash course in civics America needs." Join us on March 28th, at 6pm MST in store to discuss the power of the president, the influence of money in politics, and other pressing issues driving today's political debate.

In We Hold These "Truths", former congressional staffer turned George Washington University grad school professor Casey Burgat leads a diverse team of officials, academics, and experts from both sides of the aisle to expose the lies at the heart of our political dysfunction. They debunk talking points about term limits, lobbyists, money in politics, and more – offering real-world insights into how our government actually works.

Replacing myths with clarity and solutions, We Hold These "Truths" empowers us all to see past the distractions, understand the system, and demand the kind of government that will actually bring about positive change.
