Coming Soon: The Recovering Politician!

LAUNCH DATE: APRIL 1, 2011

In just a few days, a new entry to the blogosphere will revolutionize the way Americans think about politics.

All right…I doth promote too much. I am a recovering politician after all.

I can promise, however, that The Recovering Politician will present a unique forum for spirited, reasoned, civil dialogue — dispatches from a few dozen folks who’ve actually served in the arena; and now having left, are liberated to share their experiences and critiques of the system without partisan bias or interest group pressures.

Don’t expect interminable political blather; our contributors will also share their opinions and ideas about business, religion, sports, pop culture, you name it. And you’ll be encouraged to join the conversation through your comments.

Be prepared to join us on April 1.  In the meantime, feel free to surf around the bare bones of the site: check out our mission, sign up for my email notification list, and join me on the social networks: Facebook, Twitter, etc — you can find the links and forms above.

So strap in tight, liftoff is in T minus 12,000, 11,999, 11,998…

Best,

Jonathan Miller, The Recovering Politician
