Bob Graham and Chris Hand: America, the Owner’s Manual

November 29, 2016

Former Florida Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham and Chris Hand discussed the newest edition of their book, America, the Owner’s Manual.

With Americans voicing overwhelming frustration with the political process, Graham and Hand showcase how the hope for a better democracy begins with individual citizens, not political candidates. America, the Owner’s Manual challenges ordinary citizens to be victorious participants rather than tranquil spectators. The book focuses on the skills needed for effective citizenship and provides tips from civic experts. More importantly, the book provides real examples of Americans who have used their skills to make democracy work for them.

The event was free and open to the public.
