Much like the forum at Saddleback Church hosted by Pastor Rick Warren, this forum will be about asking serious questions. This forum will be centered on deep discussions on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Professor George hopes that through these kinds of discussions, the candidates will demonstrate an understanding of statesmanship: an understanding of founding principles and how to govern by those principles in practice.
George sums up the purpose of the forum with this statement:
I think people are aware that things are not right. They are not technical problems to be solved by choosing the best technocrat. . . .People have a sense that the problems run deeper than that, that they have to do, in a very significant measure, with a loss of fidelity over the years, a falling away from our own principles. . . . They are looking for a conversation that goes deeper.
This is a great step in the right direction for those who want to again be guided by higher principles and not hear more brain dead "This or That" questions from CNN's John King.
