J Mel, a retired lawyer turned creative writer and podcaster, proposes that "politics" should be subordinated to "governance" and that America has lost its way because we have failed to develop and maintain an "enlightened citizenry". His podcast will explore the historical and philosophical bases of the problem and set a course towards Fixing America through the convening of the First Continental Congress of the 21st century. J Mel's goal is to create an interactive podcast with a variety of guests to form a coalition of positive, constructive citizens with a good faith desire and determination to form a sustainable liberal representative democracy.

    This episode of Fixing America with J Mel explores the damaging effect that minority control, poisonous partisan politics, and mis- and disinformation’s has had on civic participation. That, coupled with Trump’s war on the press, independent agencies, and legislative and bureaucratic oversight has prompted Americans to doubt our democracy and distort its potential. There is a better way: Subordinate politics to governance.
